'367 MUNICH. Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is a handsome city with a population at the Census of December, 1905, of 538,983, showing an increase of 39,051 inhabitants (equal to 7*8 per cent.) as compared with 1900, with the same municipal area. The growth of the city during the past thirty years has not been due in any large measure to the incorporation of adjacent townships, an addition of 36,969 only, out of a total increase since 1875 of 345,959, being attributed to this cause. The intercensal increases, both with and without additions to the municipal area, are shown in the following Table :— Census year. 1875 1880 1885 1890 1895 1900 1905 Population. 193,024 230.023 261,981 349.024 407,307 499,932 538,983 Increase, including incorporated districts. No. 36,999 31,958 87,043 58,283 92,625 39,051 Percentage. 192 13 9 33 2 167 22 7 7-8 Increase, excluding incorporated districts. No. 31,194 31,958 63,397 56,713 86.677 39,051 Percentage. 15- 7 ]39 222 16- 2 21-0 7-8 The most striking feature of this comparison is the small increase of population which has fallen to the last intercensal period, and which is mainly due to three causes. One is a diminishing birth-rate, as to which figures are given below ; another is the marked decline in immigration from other parts of Bavaria ; and, finally, an exceptionally large number of workpeople removed from the town owing to industrial disputes. While, however, the population of Munich increased by 7*8 per cent, between 1900 and 1905, the increase for the whole of Bavaria during the same period was only 5 6 per cent., with the result that Munich’s proportion of the entire population of the kingdom increased from 8T to 8'3 per cent. Of the inhabitants enumerated in 1905, 39*5 per cent, were born in the city, against 36*1 per cent, in 1900, and 48*9 per cent, (against 5 *.*2 per cent, in 1900) were born in other parts of Bavaria. The fact is significant that the proportion of female to male inhabitants has for a long time been increasing. The census of 1905 showed Munich to have 1,122 females to every 1,000 males, whereas the ratio for Bavaria as a whole was 1,041 to 1,000. The streets: of Munich are well built, wide, and admirably paved and asphalted, whilst avenues, planted spaces, fountains, and statues beautify every quarter of the city. Of public works the only one which has not yet come entirely into municipal hands is the tramway system. The tramways were originally constructed by a private company in the old days of hòrse traction, and this company still holds its lease of the streets under an arrangement by which the town guarantees to it a certain minimum return upon capital, while claiming any eventual surplus beyond this return, so that the undertaking is virtually worked on the town’s account, though for the present the town does not directly manage it. Before long, however, this arrangement will come to an end, and the tramways will formally be taken over by the municipality. For public buildings and other buildings of an important kifid, sandstone and granite,! which come from a distance, are the material employed ; but for houses generally brick is used, this being as usual faced with stucco work, according td the fancy of the architect. Where stucco is used the surface is painted or Washed in colour, for unrelieved white is prohibited. Of ¡late concrete has been extensively employed. Munich, in fact, rests upon a stratjum of small gravel, which is suitable for concrete, and this will no doubt more à rid more be the building material of the future. The working classes proper are not conspicuous in the leading streets, •but the more one withdraws from the centre the more industrial becomes
