The simple inscription on the pedestal of the statue is 1861-1865, which serves to recall the most memorable days In the history of this country.

By Herbert A. Sherman. operation from the old terminus at what Is now Beverley road to the Kings highway in Flatlands village. This occurred In 1885 and marked a new era for the sleepy hamlet, surrounded by potato fields and acres of corn. The next advance was made when the car line was extended to Bergen Beach lrom Flatlands, leaving Flatbush avenue at Avenue and following the latter to the terminus on Jamaica Bay at Bergen Beach.

Bergen Island, as it was formerly known, is a portion of the old town which is surrounded by water at high tide. It comprises several hundred acres, a portion of which is covered by a grove of great trees. The rest of it was formerly the Bergen farm. When it was decided to exploit it as a waterfront resort and real estate development the extension of the car line was secured, but the efforts to make it a rival of Coney Island or even of Canarsie, which lies across an arm of the bay from it, have not proved especially successful. The growth of the Canarsie portion of the old town of Flatlands was promoted much earlier and faster by reason of auperlor transit facilities and the fact that it is on the direct route from East New York to Rockaway.

But it has not yet become a residence center to any great extent. Stretching to the westward of Canarsie and Bergen Beach Is the largest unoccupied tract in the limits of the borough. It is still in the main in the primitive state that it has been for the paBt 300 years, the broad acres occupied by truck farms and the waterfront unused save by fishermen and clam diggers. But into this practically virgin territory two trolley lines have just been extended which will afford transit facilities to a great territory bound to be filled up with a large population in a few years. These extensions are single track lines of the Nostrand avenue and the Utica avenue trolley routes, the last named of much was put in operation this week.

The Nostrand avenue extension has been perated a few weeks from the point Where Nostrand and Flatbush avenues intersect down the former to a point between Avenue and Kings Highway. It Is expected to continue it half a mile further to Neck Road in the near future. There the extension of Nostrand avenue is stopped by the grounds of the Coney island Jockey Club, and until that property is sold for real estate development the street cannot be continued to Sheeps-liead Bay and Coney Island. The Ctlca Avenue extension, the operation of which has Just been begun, is from Church avenue southward to Avenue where it connects with the tracks of the Flatbush avenue route to Bergen Beach. This new Una runs practically through open fields, no building having yet been done on or near it save at Mill Lane and Kings Highway.

At present there are few cars on long headway but in the summer season it ia expected there will be considerable traffic to Bergen Beach. In time both of these lines will be double tracked and will become important feeders to routes of more rapid transit. Their present operation Is In anticipation of the extension of subways to the outlying region. It is possible now for any one to gain some adequate idoa of the rural stretches of outlying Brooklyn by trips over these routes, differing as they do in a marked degree lrom the routes on which the Flatbush avenue and the Ocean avenue cars run to the outlying sections. The statement that a responsible bidder is prepared to take over the construction end operation of the Lafayette Avenue-Broadway loop, in this borough, in connection with the Lexington avenue route in Manhattan and the Bronx, and their connection in Canal street, gives assurance that there will be adequate rivalry in the field of furnishing Dew rapid transit facilities and that the benefits to accrue will not be lost br further delays.

Step by step marked progress Is made in the work of adding to subway building and the use of the routes. With actual work under way on the lines now provided for, a great increment in values to the real estate in the region directly to be benefited may reasonably be regarded as assured. detailed offer made by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company tor the use of two tracks in the Centre street tunnel, in Manhattan, for greater facilities in the use of the Williamsburg bridge, shows a determined effort to add to the equipment for the full use of that structure, which has by no means reached its for carrying passengers to and from Manhattan. With a choice between two methods of arranging for payment, it should be comparatively easy for the Public Service Commission to arrange lor this use of part of the loop, the rest of which cannot be used until the construction of the new municipal building at the Manhattan terminal permits connection with the Brooklyn bridge and the building of the Lafayette Avenue-Broadway loop makes its use available in this borough. Whether such a lease as is proposed of a part of the new tub') would have any bearing on Its future use of those of small cost the ubo of autos will become general and will have a de the new station site of the Pennsylvania- cided bearing on the development of sub cemetery will take place, and the new streets will afford ready means of access to a portion of the burial ground, now little known and used.

There is a large stretch of property there which will ultimately be used for cemetery purposes, but the fact that the promoters of that enterprise secured it before the city authorities laid out a park adjacent should not Interfere with the making of proper connections with the park property from this borough. As it is now, in going eastward from Highland Park, it is necessary to descend from the high ground of the backbone of Long Island, on which the parks lie, and to make a considerable detour around the cemetery property, more than doubling the distance, and giving heavy grades to overcome. But when once In Forest Park the wisdom of having secured this beautiful tract tor the use of the city is apparent in every way. Although It has as yet only one main roadway and few side paths, there Is ample room for the extension of roads and walks throughout the entire five hundred odd acres, I believe it is just a trifle larger than Prospect Park. With its wealth of greenery, the wide views to be secured at different points of both the ocean and the Sound, and the golf courses, which alwayB have throngs of players, Forest Park is destined to play an Important part In the future of the city.

"A beginning has been made In the filling up of the adjacent region by the growth of Richmond Hill, on the south side. Now, on the east, the Forest Hill community is to be established by the munificent generosity of Mrs. Russell Sage. But I am told that, with all the funds provided for the carrying forward of the scheme, it will not be possible to give protpectlve purchasers much more than Is now afforded by first class land developments, and that the latter will not have much if anything to fear from the benevolent enterprise. The location of the Forest Hills development, in the new short cut of the Long Island Railroad, from the East River tunnels, Is expected to aid in drawing from the congested quarters of the metropolis persons who will derive the utmost possible benefit from the removal to rural surroundings.

But for many of them it. will bo necessary to receive practically city surroundings in the country to induce them to make the change to good air and healthful conditions outside the crowded community. Only a beginning has been made with the new experiment, as plenty of time is to be taken to study the best plans and adapt them in the best manner to the conditions to be met. "The development of great tracts for suburban homes in the central part of Queens Borough has been one of the features of the pact few years. The stretch ol high ground lying north of Jamaica, sloping toward the sea on ono side and with a gentle declivity to the northward In the Flushing direction, has been secured by promoters who are actively at work In laying out roadways and putting in curbs and sidewalks and building homes.

Some fine macadamized roads have been laid out, and when connections are completed the region will become a residential center of unexcelled attractiveness. With the Increase of means of transportation the entire region will fill up with a large population. The lessening of the time required to reach the business centers the new Long Island Railroad facilities is expected to do much for this region, although the added fare to Manhattan may militate against it to a degree. "But the great growth of the nearby Long Island region Is to come In the future from the Increased use of automobiles. The use of the machines has practically put the entire area within a twenty-five mile radius within easy reach, even the weather having little effect in deterring one from the trip by auto to the nearest railroad" station, at least, from any rural home and the limit Is rapidly extending up to fifty miles.

This multiplies the available residence dlBtrlct many times In comparison with the region adjacent to railroad trunk lines. The auto and, maybe, the flying machine, If as much progress Is made In the next ten years as in the last ten will make all Long Island only a suburb of New York, and population will be spread out over acreage instead of being 'erib'rl. cahln'd and confined' to the meager dimension of the average city lot.
