I It i? Irtldeed at the xery threshold of old

Stich that the district boasts of many
hundred thousand more residents than it

The duRi Bubwa: plans pr?vida for such
an f\t??ri_ioii
Th?* early settlers ?t Flatbush were
pr?>ud of Its rural charms, and there Is
ample evidence that they did nothing to
impair those niral graces. l__ter settlers
?t?? as zealous a? the pion?ers in this re
BPSCt. and this work of conserving the
country features of the district has been
well attended to o\er a long period of
\.?ar- And in spite of the vast iipbulld
IngS of the district Into a great??!- and
more closely settled home region, it will
ho many years before the district puts
off Its present delightful rural garb and
assumes one with entire city f'-ature?
Klatbuj-h has already passed through
? ? stag"?? of dev??!opment : Klrst, -"rom
a ..erics of little settlements with farm
lati-is adjoining into a place dotted with
? ? Hy huPt fram?? dwellings surrounded
With truck gardens, and now Into a hlgh
? lass suburban area, with farm lands a
thing of the past and with commodious
public schools and other city con
?eiiicnces, and with the brl?k apattment
house adorning well located sites hero
8-.?J there.
1'iotti m>w on It la likely that the apart
nur.t Louses -?111 be built In larger num?
bers each year, especially along the llner
of the main transit arteries of the dis?
trict.
The heat types of frame and brick one
and two family dwelling houses have n?'?n
h'l.lt in I'latbush, and I flriu'y think that
me may travel over this wi<le countrv
und not find a place with .such a splendid
?affray Of -ubstantlal suburban homes
In r?cent --ears th?? ?MMtBg c"??vth or
Plstbush has not been so rapid as It. tiic
