I still think the issue is time dependent as Samuel Buckley, Manhattan didn't incorporate until July 1921: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9B05EFDB1731EF33A25753C2A9619C946095D6CF , that is if I have the correct Samuel Buckley(lower left portion of the article).

Kind Regards,
