What is the best telephoned city in
the world? San Francisco seems TO be
the answer. In that city, with popu-
lation of 342,7S2, there are 21,324 tele-
phones, or sixty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to its 312,S59 OF population,
equal to forty-nine per thousand In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very un-
favorably with these figures At the
beginning of this year there were A.
Ill telephones to population of more
than 100000, or a proportion of sew
en- to every thousand people. New
York, with a population of 2,3J0,O0O,
had 54,647 instruments, or twenty-six
to n thousand.
