Centennial celebrating during the week, which, whiie

suburban towns. which bring to the city an additional
population OF nearly 10000 people and large amount
of territory. The annexation fever is selling all the
suburbs and there Is good prospect that despite the
vigorous opposition Of the parties who control the
village governments the large suburbs OF the North
and South Ends will come In before next spring.

of nearly q million and a quarter.
