cd separately. If there were a greater
Boston, as there is a greater New
York, her population would be 1905,
791 instead of the 670,5S5 now re-.
turne1
In like manner the Twin Cities In
Minnesota can contend that the two
are essentially one in all but name and
that true rating can only be given
them by consolidation. Thus If Min
neapols and st. Paul were combined
we should have 516,152, ranking as the
ninth city in the country.
There are many other cities that
would considerably augment their pop
ulation by little expansion. The case
of San Francisco, Oakland and Berke-
ley has already been mentioned. Like
wise Omaha and South Omaha prac-
tlcally constitute one city. If the two
were joined together they would have
150,097 instead of the 124,096 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. Bayonne,
Hoboken, West Hoboken and several
other towns are really a continuation
of Jersey City. If these were added
the total population would run close
second to the greater Newark.

class the returns as yet are scattering.
Smaller Cities Grow,
On the whole, the smaller cities have
grown more rapidly than the larger
ones. The rate of increase in those
above 100000 has been 31.S per cent.
while the showing is 39.4 per cent in
those between 25COO and 100000. Six
teen of these smaller cities have more
than doubled their population in the
decade. The largest growths have
been that of Oklahoma City, which
has the enormous percentage of 539.7

the same state, is but little behind
Other cities in this group that have

The largest growth In cities of over
100000 is that of Birmingham, Ala,
which increased at the rate of 2454
per cent. Los Angeles was a close
second with 211.3 per cent. Seattle
had 1914 per cent. Other cities in this
class that more than doubled their
population were Portland, ore: Spo-
kane, Wash, and Oakland, Cal. Notable
gains were also made by Cleveland,
Detroit. Minneapolis. Denver. Atlanta
and Richmond
One most gratifying feature of the
returns is the growth of the south.

San Francisco Undaunted.

Another pleasing fact is that despite
her disastrous earthquake and fire San
Francisco has increased from 342, 7S2
in 1900 to 41G,012 in 1910. Oakland
and Berkeley are virtually parts of
San Francisco, and both have grown
prodigiously. If the two be added to
the larger city the total population is
increased TO more than 100000. More
over. the enormous increase of Los
Angeles and other California cities
shows something of the growth that
might have taken place in San Fran

State Lines Retard Totals.

All the expansions mentioned could
be readily made, since the cities to be
consolidated are in the same states.
There are a number of-cases. however.
where state lines intervene. Notable
among these are Kansas City, Mo-.
and Kansas City, Kan. Omaha, Neb..
and Council Bluffs, Ia, furnish an
other case in point, and so do St.
Louis. Mo-. and East st. Louis, Ill.
Then there are Cincinnati, O., and
Covington, KY; also Philadelphia, Pa,
and Camden. n. J. Chicago would also
gain enormously by adding contiguous
Indiana territory.
The most conspicuous case of the
sort, however, is that of New York
and the cluster of cities and villages
in northern New Jersey. For twenty
or thirty miles, or even more men
commute daily from New Jersey into
New York. In business interests and
in all other ways, except that of resi-
dence, they are as much New Workers
as those living on Manhattan Island
All north Jersey is practically becom-
ing one solid city, made up for the most
part of commuters. The tunnels under
the Hudson river are rapidly adding TO
this class. 1t Is a conservative claim
that there are at least 100000 of
these Jerseyites who really belong to
the great city. and some estimates
have put the number considerably

The question Of patronage has

to blame for taking the advice

was the coolest day of their expert

The journey from New York was
marked by the first puncture that they
have experienced in 1000 miles. The
