York
xorx
largest city on the western continent is
known to every one, but there are other
New York facts of which many Ameri­
cans are Ignorant. The central fact has
been stated thus: There are more New
Yorkers living outside of the city proper
than in it. This were some time a para­
dox, but the eleventh census makes it
very plain.
Another, and perhaps a better, way of
stating it would be thus: If all the people
who live in the metropolitan district and
make New York their place of business
and pleasure could be counted in it, as is
done in London, New York would rank
next to London among the world’s cities,
and not very far behind it. The circle
of cities and suburbs which are prac­
tically parts of New York is divided by
rivers, bays, ridges and “flats,” leaving
them in different counties and states,
and requiring engineering of the very
'highest order to combine them in one
municipality.
The Hudson is fully ten times as large
as the Thames at Westminster bridge,
East river is many times as large as the
Thames at its western entrance to Lon­
don and in all the London vicinity there
is no elevation to compare with Hoboken (
heights. Yet the people of Brooklyn, of
Staten Island's towns, Jersey City, New­
ark and the Orangee are every whit as
much New Yorkers as the people of
Chelsea, Kensington and Greenwich are
Londoners.
The annexed table, therefore, presents
the real population of the American me­
tropolis. The city hall in New York is
taken as a center and a circle drawn
around it with a radius of thirty miles.
Within that radius the people live on
the business done in New York city, and
about 600,000 of them are in the city
ever}’ day. Trains leave their stations
every half hour or so of mornings and
return in the same order of evenings.
