NEW YoRK's CENSUS.
The Board Of Health has taken Z, hand in
questioning the accuracy OF the recent
count Of New lork's population. Many in
| stances are mentioned where whole families
were overlooked hy the enumoraiors.
superintendent Porter is said 10 have sug-
gested that a good many New Workers have
! gone 10 Jersey and Brooklyn tO live. But
he seems TO have lost track OF the fact that
in the mean time people have been putting
up buildings all along the northern half oi
Manhattan Island, and no apartment or
tenement house stands long unOccupied.
In fact, as house-hunters are wcli
aware, ilais are generally let long
before the completion of the building, and
10 some cases are occupied before the paint
and plaster are fairly dry. Ile growth Of
the population in New York north Of fi1y-
ninth street has been astonishing 10 those
who have lived there during the past i've
wears. In response Ia "A request from Mayor
Grants private secretary, President
Charles George Wilson. OF the Board OF
Health, sent the following table OF
figures 10 the City Hall, compiled for
the purpose Of proving the in
correctness OF the last United States
census in this city; The sanitary police

ment houses. 81, 800; families, 23I,JI2: p0pu.
lation. l,093,I0l; brought down 10 lS'o tho
figures are: tenement houses, ISIS, "a
which 2G3O are rear houses. On this basis
the statisticians Of the Health Department
declare that the population now living IN
tenement houses would he l,aD,O0O. They
estimate the lodging house population at
1900. and that Of public institutions. &i,lj.
Withthe people in private houses, boarding
houses, and apartment-hOlses. the Health
Department indications point 10 "A present
population Of about l,GO.oO. According
10 this the actual count OF the United
states epumeratOrs is 6,i5I too small.
GRANTS MONUMENT.
From the various sketches Of the design
selected by the committee for the cOn>truc-
tiOn OF the Grant monument, the plan sug-
gests the idea that the ediiice is to Ike
monumental tomb, which will contain
grand memorial hall and depressed NOR
tuary chamber, with "A double sarcophagus
, for the remains Of General Grant and bis
wife when she dies, The monument VIII
be built in the pyramidal form, the lower
portion being severely Doric in design-an
, OrdOr OF architecture best adapted for slni-
, plici,y, solidity, and serious effect. The
crypt has been arranged so as 10
leave large space around the sar-
cophagls, rs well as tO leave the entire por-
ton of the memorial hall clcar for patri-
Otic or civic gatherings. AT the end 0f the
hall y r0strum will be constructed, from
which a complete view Of the immense me-
mortal hall may be seen. The view coming
up the Riverside drive will present inst the
pure pyramid form, and MAJ be seen from
I >eyenty-secOnd street; next he suborui-
nate portion OF the pyramid dome would alr
pear; and lastly, at Observation-Disclosures
street the entire structure. rising on grassy
foundations and the equestrian statue IN
front, 10 the height Of l60 feet, would greet
the eye.
