missioner Il. p. Burruss would be ap,
pointed tax adjuster in jefferson coun-

Mr.. Dickson admitted that he had a

denied any deal. He made no attempt
to conceal a willingness to take the job

to return to his school at the end of the
term as city commissioner, which he
might be elected to fill.
Commissioners Hornady and Brown
said they knew of no deal of the kind
and that they had not been consulted
about the matter at all, though Mr..
Hornady said he heard rumors- last Sat

DECLARES MR.. HINES

Washington, september 16.-Director
General Hines declared today that con-
trary 10 what seems to be the public
assumption, conditions relating to car
supply are more favorable now than
for the last years. He said that
unified control Of the railroads tended
to concentrate attention upon any in
ability to perform 100 per cent of the
transportation required by the entire
country instead of upon conditions
generally.
Car SURPRISES on August l,l917, he
said were 1851. while the same date
this year saw q surplus of 10Y SOC
cars Untitled car requisitions on the
former date this year was able to fill
all except 1921 demands. The num-
Der Of freight cars in service has been
Increased nearly 100000. and quicker

effected.

But besides the Getty" of London there
is the County of London, which has often
been treated statistically in; such a way
that the uniformed have thought Getty"
of London was referred to- Almost through
out the nineteenth century, every refer
to the population of London" had to
do with the county Of that name, the built
up area, of which London City is the CEN
ire, having come to embrace most of the
county.
But practically with the opening of the
twentieth century statsticians began to
include under the term London" an extern
sive area outside the county, because the
built-up section had begun to extend far
beyond the county lines. This London"
has been designated Greater London" and
is coextensve with the Metropolitan Police
District. 1t embraces two entire counties
as we'll as portions of four other counties,
just as, when the greater New York was
formed in 1898, it took in three entire
counties and part of fourth-an area to-
day embracing five counties.
When comparison of the populations
of London and New York Is made. com.
parable areas must be selected. For Lon
don, the Metropolitan Police District
("Greater- London") is the correct unit.
For New York there exists no correspond
ing administrative unit But the Census
Bureau has delimited an area includinp
besides New York City, all the territory
within ten miles-on an AVERAGE. or sneak-
ing roughly-of the city's boundaries This
area 1T has denominated the "New York
Metropolitan District But the term
Greater. New York" is preferable, because
it agrees with Technology already in use
in respect to London, Berlin, and other
great cities in referring to the entire
population aggregation. The use of, "Great-
er New York" in the sense of the present
New York City has about died out. 1t is
time to broaden the meaning of the term
TO embrace the entire Metropolitan Dis
trict 1t is likewise preferable to the
approximately equivalent term "Port of
New York" as loosely used, because more
exact. Newark and Perth Amboy are in
dependent ports, and strictly cannot be in
ciuded under "Port of New York" although
certainly belonging to the community best
designated as Greater New York" Fur
Their, the term port Of New York" is not
at all comparable with port of London.
