Population Increases 4,044

Since 1910 Town is Far Ahead of Lafayette, Behind Anderson and Muncie. COUNTY JOTAL NEXT I "While Richmond showed no startling: growth during the decade since 1910, it is the same sort of growth the town has had since its formation, fiteady, conservative and solid, with no inflated "bodms" and no periods of jpronounced depression. This was the concensus of city opinion Wednesday, following- the aninouncement from the census bureau Tuesday night that the city now has 126,728 people, an increase of 19.7 per jcent over 1910, when it had 22,324. , It was pointed out also, that had the census taken note of the hundreds of men who live in nearby towns and commute to their work, their families living out of Richmond, or had the town been able to house them, the growth of this same solid character, .would have been shown to be higher. 3n Beallview alone, for instance, many fpeople live who were not counted. , Ranks k Above Lafayette. The city in percentage of growth franks above Lafayette and Seymour, kin the returns which have been announced, and below Muncie, Newcastle and Anderson. It has definitely (grown away from Lafayette, which lias 22,456. Anderson and Muncie fhave climbed above it, with 36,524 end 29,761 respectively. According to the school census, which is regarded as a good criterion, Richmond may rank about twelfth in the state when the complete returns ere announced. She ranked eighth In 1910. Returns Are Preliminary. The returns announced Tuesday Hight are preliminary, and detailed end corrected ones will be announced later, the census bureau said. Attention also turned Wednesday to the county's probable population, following the city report. Wayne county had in 1910, 43,757 people. It. was not regarded probable that the county would show as large an Increase as the city, as the tendency during the decade has been for the country persons to flock to the towns. The county's growth, therefore, may be very little in the decade. Other figures are: x - Beaumont, Texas, 40,422; increase, 17,782, or 95.S per cent (revised figtires). Amsterdam. N.
