PLAN NEW STATE
OF
Movement on Foot to Carve New |
Commonwealth Out of the
State of New York
If the movement set on foot in
New York is carried through, a
new star will bo added to the na
tional Hag within the next year or
two. The proposal does not look
to the admission of Alaska to the
Union, as might be supposed, but
lo the creation of the state of
Manhattan with boundaries prac
tically the same as those of
Cireater New York, except that the
whole of Long Island would be
included instead of f»nly a part as
at present.
The plan is being pushed in all
seriousness and a bill for accom
plishing this purpose has been
introduced in I he slate legisla
ture. lie fore the new slate can
become an aeluality, the proposal
for iI s rival ion must be voleil up
on bv | In.1 people of I lie cit y and
of I he slalc. and their action, if
favorable, would have |o be rat
ified by t lo- president and con
gress.
While llifiv sceins lillle iloubl

i( is «I*>111»lfill ir llir residents of
"upslalc" would consent, since
I In* s<al«' derives two-thirds or
lliiii*#• of ils revenues from var
ious laxi's «*<»nlI'ibiilI'd by the oily.
It is pointed «»iiI by (host* be
hind tlic new movement that the
stale of Manhattan would lie the
richest in I lie country ami that
only two others wonhl have u
i larger population. The cost o|
- running the oily at present i.'
$ I on.000,000 mill will soiin pa*>
I lie $200,000,000 mark, which, o!
