and odd . inhabitants are; distributed
over-an enormous area, which Js large,
ly what might be called suburban.
Considering New York as that com- i
xmfnlty which radiates about 25 miles
from the City Hall, it Includes 2000
square miles of ground, and' Is popu-
lated almost altogether by persons
wno come 10 -aiannattan every aay ana
in everything except nominal residence
spend their lives here. 'The figures,
it -has beep estimated, will reach

Based upon. the results of the last
census, the enumerators expect to find
