study OF the census figures shows num-
bcr OF interesting facts about the population
OF New York city. It is next to impossible to
have any census perfect, especially in city
whore the population shifts from night to
night. but the State census gives total
which approximates closely to the total de-
rived from calculations based on the registry
list and the ratio Of voters to tho population.
tho ratio OF names in the directory to popula-
ton. tho returns Of the Bureau OF Vital statis-
tics and the other methods which statisti-
clans use to mako their estimates OF popula-
ton when they have not tho figures OF an &C.
curate enumeration at hand.
The population as returned by tho State CEN
sus Is 1901, 730. OF which 1.423.0S4 are re-
turned as citizens and 377.755 az aliens This
shows tho fnultiness OF tho Porter census
which gave the population rs a llttlo over
million and a half. and 1t is q substantial veri-
ncation Of the police census taken year and
n hnlf ago. ma the difference between the police
and the State census is about tho normal
growth of tho population OF New York city
In that time.
The State census was taken by election dis
