GROWTH OF WORCESTER The valu-
alton recently taken by the assessors Of
this town. discloses a fact, for which few,
we apprehend, were prepared, except those
whose business has made them familiar
with the growth of the place. 1t is this,
that the number of raiable polls has in
creased more than 81 per cent in single
year The same ratio Of increase on the
whole population would amount TO some
thing like twenty-five hundred. After ma
king all allowances, the increase ofpoPula-
ton for the year could not have been less
than 1900. with prospect that the In
crease the present year will be equally
great Our population at the present time
is over ID 900, and we think that the crn-
sus of 1850 will show a greater per cent
increase, since 1910, than any other town
Of similar size in the State Worcester
