April 16: ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Briefly

Everybody who has had occasion to consider the matter even casually knows that the population of city suburbs is increasing rapidly. This statement is made without particularizing New York, because what is happening in this city is happening in every other city where congestion of the population has been going on.
The movement toward the suburbs, or even the adjoining towns and villages, becomes doubly interesting and significant when it is taken as an index of the extent to which the crowded portions of the city are being and will still further be relieved.
