Republicans from Virginia. headed by

GAINS s54,20s IN DECADl
Lny Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, June 5.-New York
City had a population Of 5,62l.lal on
January .. IN increase Of s54.26s or
l7.9 per cent over 1910. the Census
Bureau announced tonight. The rate
of growth was smaller than ever be-
fore in the city's history. except in
the decade ending in 1870, while the
Increase numerically was smaller
than in either of the two decades
preceding 1910.
The latest estimate OF the popula-
tion of the city and county of Lon
don made in 1917. was 4.026.90l. 4
decrease from the official census OF
1911, which showed a population OF
4,52l,6s5. Comparison of the popula-
tion of. New York City with that OF
London is declared by Census Bureau
officials to be difficult, because OF
the areas covered by the various des-
ignations Of the two cities. New
York City proper covers 2S7 square
miles. while for census purposes the
city and county of London cover 116
square miles.
Explains Small Increase.
The small Increase in the growth
of the city OF New York during the
past decade Is attributed by census
| officials to the almost complete stop
page during tho war of the influx OF
immigrants. many OF whom each year
made New York their home, ana to
the heavy emigration OF foreign-h horn
residents during the war and since
that time. New York is believed
to lead London by about a million
One hundred years ago New York
in population was something like the
present city OF Albany, little over
100000.
| The city made comparatively slow
progress toward its present position
between 1850 and 1890, when the fig
ures stood ut 1,513.50l. but each de-
cade from that time has rolled up ad-
ditional millions. In 1900. with the
corporation OF the greater city into
five boroughs. the three million mark
was passed, the exact figures being
$4,000.
The upward stride was pronounced
after that. with the four million
mark left behind in less than five
years. Before the end of the decade
| five millions we're in sight. the figure
in 1910 being 4.766.SS3. and by 1915
this had grown to 5.o47.221.
In the populations estimated In
1919 only one State in the United
States is larger than New York City
Pennsylvania with an estimated
population of s.o36.0o1.
| The suburbs OF Boston have in
creased in population much more
/ rapidly than the city proper in the
last decade. according to 1920 census
| figures thus far made public. Nine
cities and towns in the metropolitan
district have shown a total increase
| of T7.7S3. or about % per cent.
