BALDWIN-FOREMOST SUBURBAN COMMUNITY
The present extensive growth east¬ ward on Long Island of suburban all year population is causing a marked contraction of acreage and agricul¬ tural area in western Suffolk County, particularly at important centers like Northport, Huntington and Setauket. The present activity affords a con¬ trast in the character of the real estate market. Now the movement l.s reflected in the sales of home sites and bungalows and medium priced dwellings In the parts of villages within easy access of the railroad sta- tlonH; whereas In the past the de¬ mand wae almost entirely for choice shore front acreage for country es¬ tate purposes. In proportion to the amount of shore front available there is still a demand for it, but so far as the demand for all year homes near stations is concerned, it must in¬ crease because of the spreading of the suburban axea caused iby the growth of New York City and im¬ proved transit facilities on Long Isl¬ and. Even Great River, on SufTolk County's south shore, is witnessing house construction to meet the de¬ mands for all-year homes for com- muters^ Fifty miles from Manhat¬ tan, Great Rivet reflects the trend of suburban expansion.
Nassau County can no longer be termed an agricultural county. When, In 1844. a railroad flrst paased | through .Vassau County, it was too far from Manhattan in point of time to be suitable for residence for the | business and professional men of the ^ metropolis. Brooklyn had only a population of sixty thousand and only 370,000 persons lived in Manhattan. Jamaica was the most remote subur¬ ban town on Long Island; now it is part of the city of New York.
Nassau County has now a popula¬ tion nearly five times as large as the population of Brooklyn was in 1844. The south half of Nassau County nae grown more rapidly in houses and population because its shore line is not pre-empted by landed estates. The southern coast line has been and is in
the hands of developers and builders who have appealed to the multitude of investors and home.seekers Instead of to a class. The result Is a more dense, but none the less, suburban occupancy.
Another circumstance is that the suburban trend eastward from Queens waa along the south shore of Nassau county because it waa along the line of least resistance. Baldwin Harbor and Freeport—in this territory— have been extensively Improved be¬ cause of their waterfronts being traf- flce served hy trolley as well as rail¬ road.
Thie trolley has cau.sed a marked improvement, too, throughout Rock¬ ville Centre, Lynbrook, Roosevelt and the outskirts of Garden City and Floral Park.

STATE ENGINEER BUST,
Terminal at Greenpoint Alone Calls for Neariy |200,000.
During the past few months State Engineer and Surveyor Frank M. Williams has succeeded in having the Canal Board approve plans and agree¬ ments calling for the construction of the unfinished sections of the barge canal and tending to clear up the dif¬ ferences between the State and rail¬ road companies; as to the cro.sslngs over the channel in the western sec¬ tions of the State.
Among the more important plans whicli have been approved are those calling for the construction of junc¬ tion locks at Rome and Mohawk where the old Erie will be kept open; as well as the new barge canal. The Mohawk lock will cost $4 7,.")3 4 while the structure at Rome will represent an expenditure of $61,236, according to Mr. Williams' estimate. Plans have also been approved, calling for the construction of the terminal dock- walls at Greenpolnt, in the East River. N'ew York City, and at Roches¬ ter. The estimated co^t of the termi¬ nal wall at Greenpoint, which In¬ cludes all necessary dredging, is $193,500, while the Rochester termi¬ nal wall is estimated at $101,000. Plans calling for the erection of light
houses, range finders aud other aida to navigation in Lakes Oneida and Onondaga at an estimated coet of $63,937 have been approved: as have plans calling for tbe installation of steel derricks on the terminal sites at Albany, Whitehall, Little Falls, Rome, Lockport and Tonawanda, at a cost estimated at $21,890. The canal board has also approved plans for the building of the terminal at Lyons the cost of this work being es¬ timated at $,"",92."i by Mr. Williams, although section 4 of the terminal law provides $95,000 for this pur- po.>^e.
Among the more important agree¬ ments which have been approved Is one calling for the construction of the New York Central Railroad bridge over the canal at Lyons at an esti¬ mated expenditure of $329,656.60 and the Erie and Lehigh Valley cross¬ ings over the canal in the vicinity of Genesee Valley Park at Rochester, the estimated cost of both bridges be¬ ing $350,000.
Many other plans of a minor na¬ ture have been approved by the board and the State engineering de¬ partment is putting forth every effort to assure tTie completion of the entire canal system by 1918, which is the year set for the eatablishm'cnt of through navigation on the barge "¦'.•'.al. between the Great Lakes and .'alaiitic seaboard.
At one time we had quite a brave scjuad of Progressives in the village -young and aggressive men, who were willing to follow T. R. any¬ where and everywhere. That aggres¬ sive little band has dieintegrated, and they are now working shoulder to shoulder for Hughes and Fairbanks. We believe as it ia in Port Chester, so it is throughout the country.— Port Chester Daily Item.
