TEN Of reckoning the increase Of popu-
lation In New York city It Is esti-
mated that on July the town will
have 5,5S3.S71 Inhabitants. against
4,7G6.SS3 In 1900, a gain Of s169Ss in
four years, or Mt the rate Of 204 600 a
year. On these figures the death rate
Is figured. It being put at 1893 per
1000 for the week Of April 1S.
The Census Bureau In Washington.
following It's method Of calculation, has
figured out a population as Of July
Of only 1898, 537. or quarter Of n million
less than the local authorities give.
The Census Bureau allows growth Of
population averaging 141,00O a year
since the actual count was made. The
acceptance Of the census figures would
materially modify the death rate.
When the State census Is taken next
year It will be possible to check both
Health Department and Census Bureau
figures and learn which Of the widely
divergent estimates is nearer correct.
