Population of southern Cities

ut seems that one of the Richmond
newspapers has been comparing the Vir-
ginia capital with Birmingham to the
disparagement of the Alabama metrop-
Oils said a local statistician.
''The Richmond journal in question has
been nagging at this city and has been
trying to prove that Notwithstanding the
census figures it was not as large as
Richmond, which was below Birming
ham in the census. One of the facts
brought forward in favor of Richmond
was its larger postoffice receipts. But
the Richmond editor was not familiar
with certain facts Richmond, like most
cities in the United States, has only
one postoffice. Birmingham has four
Ensley, Wylam and Thomas in addition
to the big postoffice. In greater New
York the Brooklyn postoffice stll remains
and in Los Angeles there is a postoffice
in one of the outlying sections, but in
no other cities. so far as l have been
able TO learn, has Uncle Sam more than
one postoffice.
in the course of time the Ensley, Wy
lam and Thomas postofices will be
merged into the Birmingham postoffice.
Had We now only one postoffiee the total
revenue would show well in comparison
with Richmond.
Another important fact that has been
overlooked in this discussion among some
of the newspaper men over the relative
size of Richmond and Birmingham is the
consolidated population tabulated by the
census bureau in 1910; that is to say,
the population inside the city and the
population outside within a radius of ID
miles. Birmingham consolidated pop
ulation-inside and outside-was 211, ,961, At
lanta's consolidated population-inside and
outside-was 20S. .2S4, while Richmond S was
only 16S,S54. Richmond had in the city
proper 1923; outside the city proper,
Al ,226 Birmingham's outlying population.
the greater part of which might have been
consistently annexed, amounted in 1910
to 1926.
1T will be interesting to watch the
census figures in 1920. Birmingham will
certainly lead all the southern cities with
the possible exception of New Orleans.
Atlanta is a growing city and it will
come close after Birmingham. Richmond
is a solid city and shows increase every
10 years but it will be as much, if not
more. behind Birmingham in 1920 as it
was in 1910''
