Annotation

Detailed description of an intentional community outside New York City with an easy commute by train to jobs in the city. No fences or telegraph poles. Separate houses built by individuals, so no uniformity. The people formed different cooperatives to undertake different activities, including building a town hall and running the school. No government; no police. Some satire on journalism.
