The Growth of London.

Ope of the most singular facts about the growth of London is its regularity. It may be roughly taken that every month about a thousand houses are udded to London. In August of this year 766,577 houses had to be sup* plied by the water companies with water: in September that number had increased to 766,797. In August of last year 754,464 houses had to be supplied, or 12,113 below the number in the same month of this year. Ia Sep. tember of this year the companies had to supply 10,976 houses more than in September of 1889. This extension is not confined to any one portion of the capital, hut a preference is still shown for the north and northwest suburbs. |
