The census of 1900 gives the popula-
tion Of Wilmington as 70, sos, gain OF
"a. "a per cent in the past decade, the
figures for 1880 having been 81, 43l.
Wilmington's total was announced from
the census bureau at Washington yes
terday afternoon. Since the last census
the population of this city has increased
15,077. which Is good increase although
less proportionstely than for any other
decade since 1880, excepting that Of
1910 to 1920, when the percentage of in
crease was 10. 20.
1t would have been a great salts
faction to many had the census gwen
Wilmington $4,000, but they will have
to wait another decade to attain to that.
The official announcement that this
city has 76, sos inhabitants is very
pleasing to the letter carriers, because
1t places Wilmington in the category
Of first-class offices and will entitle
them to receive salary of $1,000
instead Of $3.50 annually. No increase
will be given the clerks.
The following table gives statistics Of
Wilmington's population and growth
for the past ITO years:

Tho architects of Houston had a meet

offer their services for arbitration OF the
differences between the carpenters aud
the contractors. AT the close Of the meet
ing the following statement was given
out
AT meeting held this day of the

view OF the erroneous impression created
in view of our affifation Of the Builders
Exchange that we withdrew from the
same and that the agreement entered into
by us with the said exchange is hereby
cancelled and annulled.
I'VE desire TO state that we have at no
time considered ourselves, or have we
been considered by the exchange as mem
bers of the same. and at no time have We
had any voice in it's proceedings. Our aim
and object in entering into the agreement
was for a securement OF better class OF
workmanship and to eliminate the ire
sponsible and unreliable contractor in
connection with our work, believing that
the public would be best served by 50
doing"
