Queens County that after her husband

Hylan Budget Plan
FOreshadows Row
In Estimate Board
Verbal Fireworks Expected
To-day From Craig's Side
if Mayor Pushes Scheme to
Cut Comptroller's Power

Verbal fireworks are expected to ex-
plode at the Board of Estimate meet
ing this morning as & result of what
Comptroller Craig's friends term an
effort on the part of the Mayor to
take the making of the budget for
1922 out of the hands of the city's
chief financial officer and virtually to
lodge it in his own department.
Yesterday morning the Mayor sent
out mysterious call for meeting
of the committee Of the whole. It
was attended by Aldermanic President
La Guardia, Mayor Hylan and the
representatives of four of the borough
presidents.
Precisely what rranspired was not
disclosed, but it was learned that the
Mayor drafted a resolution for prcsen-
tatlon at the Board Of Estimate this
morning directing Joseph Haag, secre-
tary of the board, to begin at once
survey of all departments and in
situations for consideration in the
preparation of the budget for next
year.
The resolution. it was learned on
good authority, further provides that
the result of the survey of the ex-
amlners under Mr.. Haag be submitted
TO meeting of the committee of the
whole the first week in March, and
that the committee meet for further
consideration of the budget once a
month thereafter.
The obvious intent Of the MAYORS
action, friends of the Comptroller saw,
Il to wrest control of the BUDGET
preparation from the Committee on
Finance and Budget, Of which Mr..
Craig is chairman. They forecast a
bitter fight on its passage this
morning.

of 1920 Census Shows

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-For the
first time in the country's history
more than half of the population of
continental United States is living in
urban territory Persons living in
cities and towns of more than $500
when the 1920 census was taken num-
bered 5431S,O 32,. the Census Bureau
announced to-day, while those living
in rural territory numbered 81 800, 739.
The population of the cities and
towns in 1920 showed gain of Sc
per cent over that in 1910 and was
51.4 per cent of the total population
Of the country. The proportion of

tory-65.6 per cent for Colorado, TIT
per cent for Montana and 708 per cent
for Wyoming.
War Is Blamed
The bureaus statement did not
undertake to account for the drift
from the rural to urban territory, but
previously officials there have attrib-
uted it largely to the World War.
Large salaries in the cities attracted
many from the, country, while many
soldiers who lived on farms before
joining the army took UP life in the
cities after their discharge.
In total urban population New York
leads the country, while Pennsylvania
fourth, Massachusetts, fifth and New
Jersey sixth. Rhode Island has the
highest percentage of urban population
compared with its total population,
with 97.5 per cent, Massachusetts is
second with 94.S. New York third with
827, New Jersey fourth with 1877,
California fifth with $50 and Illinois
sixth with 67.9.
The District of Columbia is 100 per
cent urban, inasmuch as the City Of
Washington is coextensive with the
district.
In total rural population Texas leads,
while Pennsylvania is second Georgia
