BEST TELEPHONED CITY.
What is the best telephoned city in the world? asks a writer in the ‘Chronicle.’ The question is interesting in view of the coming developments in London. San Francisco seems to be the answer. In that glorious city, with a population of 542,782, there are 21,524 telephones, or 62 per 1,000. In Europe, Copenhagen is probably the best telephoned city, with 15,511 telephones to its 312,859 of population, equal to 49 per 1,000. In Copenhagen, too, the best conditions for the public exist, although the rates are relatively ns high as those in American cities. London compares very unfavorably with these figures. At the beginning of this year there were 41,111 telephones to a population of more than five and a-half millions, or a proportion of seven to every 1,000 people. New York, wjih a population of 2.550.000, had 64,647 instruments, or 26 to 1.000.
