APPENDIX.

It is believed that the facts contained in the following tables,
when taken in connexion with the statistical information reported
by the Special Committee upon the petition of S. B. Ruggles,
may become convenient in determining the prospective value of
lands necessary for public purposes in the upper part of the
city.    They exhibit,

I. The increase in value of the taxable Real Estate in the city
compared with the increase of its population.

If. The distribution of that increased value among the several
wards.

III.  The comparative increase of population and value in the
different geograj)hical sections of ihe city.

IV.  The fluctu-dting value of taxable Real Estate before the
Western Canals were constructed, and its progressive increase
since that period.
 

The population of the whole city in 1825 was       -        166,086
"                    "            in 1830,    -        -        202,960

Increase in five years, 22| per cent.       -       -          35,884

creased.
