THIS IS A CITY.
Census Officials Brought to Realizing Sense
of Fort worth's Importance
and Rapid Growth.

When arrangements were first begun for the
taking of census in Fort Worth. and Mr.. John
Nevins was appointed supervisor of this district
for census purposes, there was An idea wander
ing around the office of Superintendent OF Cen
sus Porter at Washington that Fort Worth had
not advanced in population since the tai
ly Of 1880 was made, for the
census decade ago showed this to be city of
less than 10000 population, and Supervisor
Nevins was instructed to district this city on
that basis. But Mr.. Nevins was not slow to ac-
quaint Superintendent Porter with the actual
condition of affairs-how Fort Worth had jumped
from a few hundred to about 40, 600 in a decade,
and how no village methods of demonstrating
would avail in the metropolis OF Texas; and yes
terday the following was received by Mr.. Nevins:
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 6, 1890.
John Nevins, Supervisor Census:
1t has been decided that the enumeration of
Fort Worth must be completed in the first two
weeks Of June, Redivide for this purpose; make
no district over $500. Wire new division soon
possible. RoBr. P. PORTER,
Superintendent of Census.
Mr.. Nevins complied with the dispatch and re-
districted the city. A map showing the dis
tricts can be seen at the Office of Assessor and

PurifiesS the Blood

as the proposition to be submitted to the pro-
posed South Side annexationists:
whereas, the citizens residing in the territory
south OF the limits of the city of Fort Worth, in
consideration OF the matter of annexation to
said city, have expressed desire that the city
council OF said city should in some manner sig
nifty the terms upon which the city should agree
TO admit said territory within its corporate
limits, so that definite and intelligent action
may be taken thereon by the citizens Of said
territory.
Be it. resolved, By the city council of the city
OF Fort Worth, that in the event said citizens
should determine to accept said territory to the
corporate limits of said city, that said territory
should be received and become part OF said city
under the following conditions, to-wit:
l. That upon the admission of said territory to
said city, bonds shall be issued based upon the
amount of assessment of the taxable values of
said new territory to the same limit as that as
sessed already by said city and that the total
amount OF the proceeds derived from said
bonds be applied exclusively to the improve
ments of or within said Territory.
Belt further resolved, that the additional num-
Der Of two wards. the limits of which wards 10 be
described by ordinance, shall be allotted to and
nclu de said new territory.
And be it also further resolved, that said new
territory in event OF annexation as aforesaid, be
exempt from taxation for this current year.
Finally, be it resolved, that in the event
of annexation to said city as aforesaid,
that this resolution be incorporated and become
a part of the ordinance admitting said new ter
ritory. lSlgned. J. G. CLEMENTS.
The matter of the wards in the new territory
and the representation thereof in the city coun-
hung for some time. Bailey, Martin, Clements
and Fraser were the leading speakers. The hitch
was on the question of representation, Mr.. Mar
tin holding that he council should not bind
itself to granting more wards TO the new terrific
ry than might be found due upon count OF pop
ulation, the others asserting that the bargain
was good one at the price stated.
Mr.. Fraser moved to adopt the resolution.
Mr.. Martin moved as a substitute that if after
the census be taken it be found the new territory
is not entitled to the two wards the same be not
given.
The substitute was lost, and on call Of the roll
the motion to adopt carried, Messrs. Nicks,
Jones and Martin voting against, each giving
his reason as matter of expediency.
Mr.. Martin gave notice that when the time
came he would bring up the question of proper
representation and have it placed on a legal
basis. 1t was conceded by Messrs. Clements
and Bailey that he had the right to do so If he
wished to.
Mr.. Martin moved that the city attorney be in
structed to draft an ordinance amending the Or
dinances relating to distractions of sidewalks so
as to cover deficiencies and doubtful passages.
Carried.
motion was made extending the time fifteen
days longer for laying sidewalks on Main and
Houston streets. --.
