Jerusalem 110,000 Tel-Aviv 110,000 Haifa 85,000 Jaffa 74,000 Comparative figures based on the census of 1922 were approximately:
Jerusalem 63,000 Tel-Aviv 15,000 Haifa 25,000 Jaffa 33,000 I am not in possession of the latest statements of municipal revenue, but I am asking the Officer Administering the Government of Palestine if he can supply the necessary figures, with a comparative statement for 1922.
