The Best Telephoned City.
What is the best telephoned city in the world ? The question is interesting in view of the coming developments in London. San Franoisoo seemi to be the answer. In that glorious oity, with a population of 342,782, there are 21,324 telephones, or 72 per 1,000. In Europe, Copenhagen is probably the best telephoned city, with 15.311 telephones to its 312,859 of population, equal to 49 per 1000. In Copenhagen, too, the best conditions for the publio exist, although the rates are relatively as high as those in American cities. London oompares very unfavorably with these figures. At the beginning of this year there were 41,11 1 telephones to a population of more than five and a half millions, or a proportion of seven to every 1,000 people. New York, with a population with a population of 9,350,000 had 64,647 instruments, or 26 to 1000.
