PREFACE.


A half century of strengthening and advancement in all that makes a great city closes in on Brooklyn this year. With a continuance of the improvement and prosperity which has marked the semi-centennial, who can tell what the centennial year will show? But there are a few things making toward completeness which are needed now. We want quick and certain transit : this is of the first importance; and its establishment should be immediate. We have many miles of streets : we should have better pavements. We have the best water: we should have more of it. We have an efficient police : we require more of them. We have a Bridge: it should be free. By the time the second fifty years have passed away all these will be perfected. Now we need measures toward attaining that perfectness. Let us have them as soon and as complete as time will admit of. We took occasion in the Directory of 1880 to refer to the great annual increase in population in our city. There has since been no subsidence of that growth. Taking the rule stated in 1880, based upon the National and State census, it was found, by comparing that cen- sus with the number of names in the Directory, that the proportion of the latter to the former was 427. Adopting that rule this year, we demonstrate that as the Directory of this year contains 161,238 names, an increase of 8,958 names over last year, so the population of Brooklyn is 704,610. Truly a mighty city-and great not only by reason of its population-but as well because it is the city of homes-of good order-of intelli- gence, and of markedly pure and beneficial civic government. May it ever, as it now does, shine forth as a model containing all that makes a great, a prosperous, and a happy com- munity.


BROOKLYN, June, 1884.
