Whoever came up with it must have been into the idea that measurements should be based on some physical reality and not just arbitrary. Similar to how the meter was originally defined as exactly 1/40,000,000 of the polar circumference of the Earth.Thus the distance to the Raritan Bay was a number based on the actual location of W 4 Street, and also served to prevent the number from ever reaching, being farther south than any land in the city, or even the state. |
