CENSUS RETURNS.
SHRINKAGE IN SOUTH ISLAND. By Te'egraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Yesteiday. The census returns already received indicate a decided shrinkage in the population of the South Island, with- a corresponding increase in the northern portion of the North Island, to such an extent, so far, as to suggest the possibility of the South Island and West Coast -constituencies being reduced by two, which will be tacked on to the Auckland district. WAVERLEY AND PATE& The census returns for Patea and Waverley have now been made up, and show that while the population of Patea has increased during the past five years, that of Waverley has decreased. The disadvantage may possibly be due tc the call of the Empire for men, and the good response made, it being the male side of the return that is most seriously affected. The comparative returns are as follows, 1011 being si own in parentheses: —Patea: Males 485 (488),, females 525(460); totals, 1010 (010). Waverley: Males 27C (299), j females 347 (327).
