Boston,s suburbs separate.

The Bostonians claim that the cen
sus figures represent only part OF
the population of their city, since Bos-
ton actually includes Cambridge and
number OF other cities that are return
ed separately. If there were greater
Boston, as there is a greater New
York, her population would be 1905
I91 instead of the 070,5s5 now re-
turned.
In like manner the Twin Cities ID
minnesota can contend that, the two
are essentially one in all but name and
that a true rating can only be given
them by consolidation. Thus If MIN
neapolis and st. Paul were combined
we should have 516, 152, ranking MS the
ninth city in the country
There are many other cities that
would considerably augment their pop
ulation by n little expansion. Tho case
of San Francisco, Oakland and BerEe'
lev has already been mentioned. Like
wise Omaha and South Omaha pr0c-
tically constitute one city. II the two
were Joined together they would have
15O.O07 instead of the 1924 ,o96 given to
Omaha now. The cities in northern
New jersey would be most affected by
consolidation, however. Thus Eliza
beth, the Oranges and several smaller
villages contiguous to Newark would
give the metropolis OF New Jersey
more than half million. BayOnnc,
Hoboken West Hoboken and several
other towns nre really continuation
of Jersey City. If these were added
the total population would run close
second to the greater Newark.
