TRENTON. June rs. 1ss5.-The amount
of money which each county will receive
from the State for school purposes for
the year beginning July l, has been APP
portioned by the State Board of Educa-
ton. Hudson county will get about
$500 more than last year. The total
amount apportioned is 50, 1896, 240, which
includes the State school tax of IS for
each child of school age by the last
school census. and an appropriation of
$500. 900 from the proceeds of the invested
school funds.
The increase coming to Mercer county
is the result of an increase of 500, 900 in
the appropriation, and an increase the
amount of the school tax, the total
amount apportioned last year being
81, 219, $50. The total amount each county
receives this year compared with last

Jersey city Ha. Crown.

The Jersey City census is nearing com
pletion. There are in all the figures for
nine out of the twelve wards. These give
a total of 124, 536 persons. The three defec-
tve wards are the First. with one pre-
cinct missing, the Sixth also with one
missing and the Eleventh with three
missing. Leaving out these missing pre-
cincts, the three wards give 40,0S5 inhab-
itants. This makes the grand total SO
far returned 164. 722.
It is therefore untrue that the popu-
lation of the city has fallen away since
1890 when the Federal census was taken.
The figures of that count gave US 16s.o0S
inhabitants. So we have an apparent
gain of over LOO with five precincts mis-
sing. The average population per pre-
einct, figuring from those already
counted. Is about 2.os5. If the average
holds good the five missing ones would
add 10,50o to the present total, giving a
gross increase of about 1900 over the
census Of 1890.
But ii must be remembered that the
census of 1890 was generally regarded
as erroneous. The general opinion was
that our population was nearer $4,000
than the 1853. 900 allowed us by Mr.. Porter
and his calculating machines.
The census of 1880 gave US 120, 722;
that OF 1885 gave us 1853. 513. an increase,
