LESS CROWDED.
London Shows Considerable Improvement
in the Last Ten Years.

in the Last Ten Years.
From a report by the statistical Of
ficer Of the London county council
upon the new census returns, it ap-
pears that oyercrowding in the me
tropolis is decreasing, says the Lon
don Telegraph.
In 1891 there we're S31, SOS persons
living in 1854 tenements Of less
than five rooms. This gives an av-
erage of 2.99 persons perroom.
In 1901 there were 726, 096 persons
living in 124,773 tenements Of less
than five rooms. This gives an sv-
erage Of 2.8S persons perroom.
Both the amount, therefore, and
the density Of Oyercrowding in such
tenements appear to have been, on
the whole, reduced since 1891, except
in the case Of the borough Of Stepney.
With regard to tenements Of moro
than FIVE rooms:
In 1891 there were 1,8s9,475 per-
sons liyingin 3OS, 91s such tenements,
thus giving an average of6.11 persons
per tenement.
In 1901 there were 2,086, 7b2 per.
sons in 347, 516 such tenements,
thus giving an average Of six per.
sons per tenement.
There appears, therefore, to have
been an increase in thenumber Of ten
ements Of more than FIVE rooms, and
an increase in the number Of persons
occupying such tenements, but a de-
crease Of IL in the average number
Of persons per tenement. This again
points to a decrease in the preva.
lence Of overcrowding since 1891.
1--WE must, however, emphasize the
fact" the housing Of the working
class committee remarks, chat the
results arrived at in this report are
Of a general character, and that the
