The population in Lewiston in 1850
was 1854. 1t is probably at this time
60o0. This does not include the popu-

west side Of the river, which comes in
the towns of Dlnvillc and Auburn
This part is intimately connected with
Lewiston proper, and all should be in
Que city. Adding that population to
the estimated population of Lewiston.
and we should probably have not far
rom 10000. Had it not been for the
depression in business during the past

condition Of the Water Power Company
our population at this time would have,
undoubtedly been $4,000. AS it is
however, Lewiston has grown rapidly
and from its position, as well AS its un-
surpassed water power, it must continna
to increase ultil it is second to but ono-
city in Maine"
