CENSUS RETURNS.

THE CHBISTCHUKCH FIGURES The census figures for Christchurch and the surrounding districts were available last night, the last returns coming in shortly before 10 p.m. As a totally different system of delimiting the boundaries of various districts was brought into forco this year as compared with 1911. it is practically impossible to mnke a just comparison of tho detailed increase or otherwise, except in a few cases: the fact' that a new borough has been created since tho last census and that tho district labelled "Fendalton" (for example) in 1911 does not- necessarily coincide with tho boundaries of the district labelled "Fendalton" this year, makes that obvious. Tho 191<3 census figures are as follows :— City of Christchurch (including the pnrt of Opawa taken in): — Persons. Males.
