Substantial Growth Came: Lateral growth in trees frequently begins later than growth in height, but the period of lateral growth is longer. Rates of lateral growth likewise are low at the outset, increasing after a few weeks and then diminishing. In view of the long annual period of lateral growth in trees, deleterious environmental conditions may exercise a pronounced effect on growth. In the wood of trees of temperate regions, narrow and wide growth rings may be observed, marking years characterized by unfavorable and favorable conditions for growth.
The community was settled about 1870. Its first substantial growth came in 1887, when it was selected as a railroad division point. It was chartered in 1893 and is governed by a mayor and council. Population: 10,740.
HAVRE, Le.
HAVRE DE GRACE, hav'ar da gras, a city in northeastern Maryland, in Harford county, is on the Susquehanna River, near its mouth in Chesapeake Bay, 33 miles (53 km) northeast of Baltimore.
From 1852 onward the yield of the goldfields declined rapidly. However, this was offset by the rise of agriculture and industry, and the city's growth continued. On the downtown streets substantial structures of stone or brick replaced the earlier wooden buildings, warehouses and factories rose in the industrial district to the south, and acres of residences spread over the sides and crests of the surrounding hills.
