An official statement accompanvin,
the bulletin says:
Inc bureau of the census has decided
70 make annual estimates of nonnIa+ior
' Da9Gu upon what is known as the arith-
Te,oai nleIhou- Ihls rests upon the as
sumption that the annual Increase -
edch year since the last census will he
ohe-tenth of the decenniaI Increase he
tween the last two censuses. The conn
Try as a whole, and most of the states
ana cities are growing with a steadily de-
cIedsing per cent of increase. AS this
condition has obtained in the United
states for the last twenty years II IL
ilheIy 10 mold good in the immediate flu
ture. Under such conditions the ari+h
met1caI method has been proved moro
accurate than any alternative method
estimates by this method based on the
census population of 1880 and 1890 Uara
maze Tor the seventy eight cities each
OF Which had over so, 900 inhabitants IN
19VO, and the results compared with the
census count. The estimates gave these
cities total annual increase between
1890 and 1900 of 40702S. The count
showed an actual average increase of IA
49, or closer than estimates based on
vote cast or number of names in a direc-
tory or local census of school children.
AFTER correspondence with all the cities
reported, very careful computations have
been made of changes in municipal areas
ana yet In many cases the population of
cities may not be estimated to be as
large as local conditions really warrant
These estimates have the advantage of
being prepared III a conservative and I'M
biased way.
