ONE WHO KNOWS.

Mr.. j. H. Chataigue il regarded good
authority on the population Of this city. lie
directed the tabulatiOn Of the police census
for the Chamber OF Commerce and his views
upon the subject will be read with interest.
lie SAYS:
The printin. Of the names for the direc-
tory being now ended, am enabled TO give
YOU the number contained therein, and
think they prove beyond a doubt the mac
curacy Of the census taken of our city. As
an evidence of this | submit the following
facts, figures, and estimates: 1t may be
well to state, in advance, that for the past
TWENTY-FIVE years the sy stem have used III
Gathering the names for the directory has
been the same, though new features have
from time 20 time been added, and, further
the names contained in the directory arc
bona fide. and not fictitious ones. The
United states census Of 1870, the first alter
the war, gave Richmond population OF
81. 03S, ami the number OF names contained
in that years directory was l2,147. In 1885,
the census gave us $500 population, and
The directory 1860 names. In those ten
wears the directory names increased G.Si
per cent, white the census increase was
but %. 90 per cent. In 1890 the census gives
us $4,000, an increase of 26l4 per cent, and
the present directory contains S,4ll names,
an increase in ten years Of 30 per cent. To
reach the population as given III the census
of 1870, we have to use A.. as
multiplier for the director names
of that year. 3H for 1881, and less than
-. for 1890. There are few cities in the
United States, and they are 10 be found only
in the West, where the population, as
shown by the census, can be reached by
multiplying the directory names by less
than 3, by far the greatest number
having TO use more than 3, and some as
great as 4. Take for instance New York
city: The population in 1890 in round num-
bers was 100000, and directory names
$50, 900, or less than three-i0urths the
population. Or take Petersburg, which
is nearer home, in our Own census
district, and the home of the supervisor of
the present census, the population of which
is given as 23,3l1, or 81 times the number OF
names 7,27s) contained in my directory. II
we use this number as multiplier for Rich
mond. we have 20,4llX3.2=94, 10. Should
any stronger or more positive evidence be
needed IN prove the injustice done our city
i'm the present census enumeration ii may
be found in the increase of dwellings, which
according To the census of 1880, numbered
9. 1872, and which to-day are given in the
directory as l4,5I1, an increase of over D.
per cent, and there are less vacant houses
in the city at this present time than there
were ten wears ago.

Larry, however, was not so fortunate,

There was no note of complaint in Lar
