His duty is limited to using and developing the advantages which natm^e presents, ^"here did the idea obtain that the area of a city was to be confined to par- ticular limits when there were no natural barriers to define them? Why insist upon confining the great population of Boston to a territorial area less than half as large as many of the towns in the state which have a population of only two or three thousand? Cou...nty and town lines should be treated as mere fictions when they become a bar to public benefits. I have tried to believe that the object of government was to provide for the public welfare; and if that could be better served by making the boundary lines of a city ten miles square instead of one mile square, then the duties of a legislator were determined and clear.
;N^ow, let us see in which direction the current of population is setting about Boston. The fol- lowing table, prepared from the census of 1870, shows that the percentage of increase in the four northern adjoining cities and towns of Revere, 60 ENLARGEMENT OF THE Maiden, Somerville and Cambridge was 43 per cent, in five years, while in the four southern ad- joining towns of Dorchester, Roxbury, Brookline and Brighton, where endeavors are being made to force the population by piecemeal-annexation, the increase in five years was 22 per cent.
