Major Joseph Caccavajo, C. E. Ireland has some 10,000,000 acres less area than the State of New York. In other words, add to the area o. the Eimerald Isle that of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island an.) the four combined will just about equal the area of the Empire State. Ireland has 32,660 square milcs or about four times that of New Jersey, which has 8,224 square miles. New York State has 49,204 square miles. Ireland has about 5,000,000 acres of bog, marsh, ba and mounta.nous land area and 320,000 ucres of wcod- land in its 21,800,000 acres. The State of New York, despite the immense population residing tu its many cities, has more than three acres of land for each man, woman and child living in the 5 in Ire- land there is an averaj per resident, The latest available census figures give [reland a population of 4,590,219, or only 78 per cent. of the population residing within the five boroughe of the City of New York. The pepula- tion of Manhattan and Brook'yn com- bined just about equal that of lreiand Seventy-four per cent. of the popu- lation of Ireland are Roman Catho- lics, Outside of the counties in Ulster 90 per cent. of the total poulation are Catholics, and n in Ulster, if we omit counties of Antrim and Down, the Catholics represent 70 per cent. of population. Taking ail the Ulscer counties, the population stands 44 per cent. Catholic and 66 per cent. non- Catholic. Interesting figures as to the distribution of the population of Ireland in the various divisions and counties will be found on page 69° cf the World Almanac for 1922. Ireland raises twice as many pota~ toes as New York State and mo-:s than twice as many bushels of oats, as well as generous crops of variey, cabbage, flax, hay, turnips, rye acd wheat. Last year some 90,000 tons of coal were produced there. Ireland has 6,000,000 cattle, 3,500,- 000 sheep, 1,000,000 pigs, 250,000 goats, 632,000 horses and 254,000 mules and asses, The importa of Ireland for 1919 were valued at $79,580,000 and im- ports at $880,157,405. It may be an interesting compari- son for speculation as to the future [population of the Irish Free State to mention the fact that 100 yea.s ago Ireland, which then had 8,000,009 pop- ulation, outnumbered the population of the entire area ircluded within the United States at that time The census of 1841 gives Leland 8,196,597, since which time there tms been a stady decline.

Here are the principal bills in- troduced in the Senate and, As- sembly of direct or indirect inter- est to Greater New York, at the opening session of the third week of the Legislature: Senator Jeremiah F. Twomey of the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn introduced last night @ bill permitting New York City to construct a tunnel under New- town Creek, connecting Manhat- tan Avenue, Greenpoint, with Long Island City. “Newtown Creek, said Senator Twomey, “is three miles long and accommodates more tonnage than the entire 1,100-mile flow of the Mississippi River. There are not less than 25,000 pedestrians cross- ing the Vernon Avenue Bridge daily, at present the only connec- tion between Brooklyn and Queens. The tunnel would be about half a mile long and ac- commodate both foot and vehi- cular traffic. “The water traffic is so great that the bridge is open ten and some times twenty times an hour, which greatly adds to the congestion of the bridge traffic, While the bill introduced by me is not an Administration meas- ure, it was drawn up in the office of the Corporation Counsel and Borough Pre ents Reigelmann and Connolly of King nd Queens Counties have declared that they would vote for the tunnel, if the Legislature authorized its con- struction, It would also enable the city to acquire property for the tunnel way and approaches." an Thomas F.
