"SECOND ONLY TO LONDON'
SYDNEY METROPOLITAN AREA NEWSPAPER’S CLAIM. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. SYDNEY, December 17. The "Sydney Morning Herald,”' dealing with the astonishing growth * of Sydney during the past two decades, claims that, _ excluding those cities whose population is largely coloured, Sydney is second to London. Sydney’s actual metropolitan population at the end of 1924 was 1,012,070, while Melbourne’s was 885,700. If Sydney embraced, as she rightly should, a similar metropolitan area as does Melbourne, her population would be 1,113,890.
