For, although New York suburbs contain almost as many people as Chicago; although Boston has twice as many in her suburbs as in herself, and nearly three times as many as in Chicago's suburbs, yet the rate of growth of Chicago's suburban development far exceeds that of any of the cities of metropolitan rank.
