Show The Different London.. The .size of London is somewhat indefinite, in-definite, but may be said to cover about a square mile. The postal district covers an area of 250 square miles. The police district extends still farther, covering an area of 687 square miles. On the other hand, the parliamentary London is much narrower. It consists of 10 boroughs, bor-oughs, of which the city of London, although al-though the smallest having 50,562 inhabitants in-habitants in 1881 is represented by four members on account of its commercial and financial importance, while each of the other nine, although larger, is represented repre-sented only by two; "Westminster, 256,-413; 256,-413; Chelsea, 258,011; Marylebone, 477,-555; 477,-555; Hackney, 362,427; Finsbury, 483,-316; 483,-316; Tower Hamlets, 391,558; Lambeth, 379,112; Southwalk, 207,335; Greenwich, 167,632. Put together, these 10 boroughs represent repre-sent only a population of about 3,000,000, and the remainder of the inhabitants of the city belong to nonmetropolitan electoral elec-toral districts. Generally, however, the size of the city is determined by the area under the operation of the metropolis local government act, which is also adopted by the registrar general of the census. According to the definition, London Lon-don covers an area of 122 square miles, forming parts of the counties of Middle- . sex, Surrey and Kent. -Baltimore American. Amer-ican. . |
