New Akron City Directory Has

Different stems.

The Akron city directory for 1900
was issued Friday by the Burch Di-
rectory company.
The new volume contains the names
Of 22,553 individuals, the names of
married women in brackets not includ-
ed, an increase of 1929 names as com.
pared with 1899.
The publishers claim that two and
n half to each name is a fair ratio, in
an estimate Of the population. This
would indicate that Akron has 56,3S3
people within her borders. In referring
TO this they say lowing to Il larger
proportion of unmarried persons,
boarders, roomers, etc, than in former
years, this estimate may be j little
too large; however, we feel sure that
1t cannot be over 5000 or 1000 too
much, which would still leave the pop
ulation of our city well above the 50,-
900 mark

aries, just completed in the Office of
the First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al, shows that the Presidential offices
now number l,270, an increase of 256
over last year, and S6S over 1894
There arc 207 first.clnss, 942 second
class, and 3121 third class. In the
adjustment just completed IL second
class offices have been advanced to the
first class, 10 third class to the sec
ond class and 2T5 fourth class to the
third class, while only one of the first
class has been rclegated to the second
class, seven from the second class to
the third.class, and II from the third
TO the fourth class. Eight offices were
discontinued during the year, AID
made stations of other offices
Owing to the increased receipts at
Presidential offices during the year,
1,014 postmastcrs will receive incrcas-
cd salaries on July ], the individual in
crcascs ranging from 500 to $1,000.
The latter amount will be allowed to

masters is S23G, 100, or $22, 800 in excess
of the increase last year, which was
$500 in excess OF anything allowed
prior to that year. One hundred and
scventy-one postmasters will receive n
reduction in salary ranging from 800
to $500 each
The average salary Of postmasters
has gradually increased each year
since 1894. At present it is 81, 1874.
The salaries of clerks in postofficcs
have not Increase so uniformly The
average has reached the maximum,
SS22. The increased appropriation for
clerk hire this year has made it posi-
bic TO promote from 1900 to 5000
clerks in postotiices. These promotions
have been confined to the lower grade
clerks, and have in the majority of
cases been limited to 800 each. About
900 additional clerks also have been
provided for from July |, 1900.

PROMOTERS
Believe New Line 10 Cleveland Is a
Sure Go,

The promoters of the new street car
line seem much encouraged over the
prospects of carrying out their plans,
SAYS the Ravenna Republican.
The company, knowuas the Portage
Lakes Traction Company, is now
engaged in securing option on rights
of way between here and Cleveland.
The route they are now working on
begins at Ravenna and goes due west
until u point opposite Brady Lake is
reached, then turns TO the north and
reaches Brady, Pippin and Twin Lakes,
passing through Hudson ant Bedford
to Cleveland. Hon. ID. q. Goldman is
engineering the work. The officials
expect to be able to confer with the
county commissioners this week.
The report comes from Kent that Il
line from that place to Twin Lakes
vim Standing Rock Cemetery would be
preferable to ono via Brady but it is
probable that more direct line be-
tween Kent and Ravena would be
more satisfactory to both towns. 1t
is not expected that there will be any
trouble in the company's securing II
fair and reasonable franchise in Ra-
venua.
