NEW YORK BIGGEST
OF CITIES SINCE 1871 |
Fact That London Took Second
Place Was Hidden BY British
BIunder.

LONDON. Dec. 29.-New York Is the
largest city in the world. London by
reason of losses occasioned by the war
and because of a gigantic mistake in
estimating the population. must now ad-
nit that the American metropolis Is the
bigger by about a quarter of a million
people.
Nor are matters improved, as Lon
doners have imagined by comparing the
population of Greater London with that
of Greater New York. for there again
the American metropolis beats the older
city by $4,000.
1t is four years now since the last
census of London was taken, but the
official figures have just been made
public.
These figures show, among other
things. an astonishing blunder. The
census revealed that there were actually
some four and one"half millions within
the county Of London (Which means
London pro peri. but the London county
council ana other local authorities had
been estimating that the population was
5000 more. and accordingly all sLatis-
tics as to births anC deaths have been
inaccurate.
The exact number Of people in the
county of London. according to these
1911 figures. is t52l 1858, whereas New
York city in 1916 numbered i.766.ss3.
Counting In extra London as II Is
termed Chat is. London outside the
county),rth population Of the erstwhile
metropolis of the world is i.2ol .SJS.
whereas that of Greater New York, in
cluding the Wcstchcster ard New Jer-
say suburbs, was at the last census T.
3S3S71.
Considering, however, that the latter
count was made in 1914. three years
later than London's most recent EMU
m-ration. the probability is that the
biggest cities Of the Old and New World
are now Just about neck anu neck
