Jerusalem — a United City By S. SHECIIARYA Jerusalem as a city has grown by leaps and bounds in both area and population. Twenty years ago the overall population of Jersalem was under 90,000. Today the city has a Jewish population of 200,000, the overwhelming majority of them immigrants who arrived to the country after the emergence of the state. In addition it has a non-Jew- ish population of 65,000, of whom 54,000 are Moslems and 11,000 are non Christians. And the city is in process of continuous growth. Large numbers of new arrivals are settling in Jerusalem, which is ex- periencing an ever-growing rate of development and building in both the Jewish and Arab sectors of the town. The physical wall that separated the two sections of the city has been removed; not so the partition between the Arab citizen and the Jewish. It existed 19 years ago before the physical rampart was erected and it still exists. By all signs it may continue to exist for a long time to come, for a lot of work and effort will be required before it can be removed. The de- sire for the fall of this partition exists among the Jews. One can only hope that the same desire will one day be engendered among the Arabs. For the time being no one can make any forecasts as to when this will come about. The existing Municipal Council of Jerusalem was elected before the unification of Jerusalem and the residenti of East Jerusalem are not as yet represented in it. Mayor Teddy Rolla hopes that they will be able to participate in the elections due to be held in November 1969, so that they may assume responsibility for the services accorded to them. For the time being they do not seem to be willing to accept the privi- lege. It is interesting to note that under Jordanian rule only some 3,000 people in East Jerusalem enjoyed voting rights in the elec- tions to the Municipal Council, since the• franchise was granted only to taxpayers over the age of 21. The right will be accorded to all residents both men and wom- en over the age of 18, and their number in East Jerusalem will come to about 30,000. From the economic and em- ployment points of view, the situa- tion in East Jerusalem is much improved since the unification. About 6,000 East Jersalemites work daily in the Jewish sector of the city in industry, building trades and services, about 10 per cent of these being employed by the muni- cipality. Their numbers are stead- ily increasing. Mayor Kollek was at one time head of the government tourist corporation. He is naturally inter- ested, therefore, in developing tour- ism to Jerusalem. The municipality has a special department for the Kaplan-Bravertnan Vows 'to BeExchanged encouragement of tourism which is making an all-out effort to provide tourist amenities and attractions for visitors to the city. Jerusalem attract– visitors from far and wide, and tourists are no longer satisfied with a mere bus ride through the streets of the city. Not long ago the mayor presented a memento to the 300,000th tourist visiting the city in 1968, but before the year is out he will be called upon to make a similar presentation to tourist num- ber 400,000. Several new hotels have been recently opened in Jerusalem and two or three others are under con- struction. Most of the hotels in the eastern and western parts of Jeru- salem registered full occupancy throughout the spring and sum- mer. The municipality also organ- izes conducted tours to the holy MISS SHARON KAPLAN and historical sites which abound Mr. and Mrs. Hyman Kaplan of in and around Jerusalem. Increased tourism will doubtlessly help to Harding Ave., Oak Park, announce cement closer ties between the two the engagement of their daughter sections of the population.
