A FINE
PICTURE OF NEW
YORK.
If you were looking down from the tallest building in the world, this is how mid-town New York's vast panorama of stone and steel would appear to you. The unusual picture was taken from the uppermost girders of ex-Governor Al- fred E. Smith's Empire State Building as the steel work on the mammoth new tructures was completed. Note the sharp, aky-plercing spire of the Chrysler Building, which now has been reglated to second place in the race to new bullding heights. In the background is the East River, spanned by famous Queensborough Bridge. Beneath the bridge, Wolfare Island can be seen. In the far distance sprawls the Borough of Queens, with its multitude of small communities, whose population was set at more than a million in the recent consus.
