INCREASE IN POPULATION,

While the Caron City Directory for
1906 will not be ready for distribution for
several months, the work of compilation
is well under way, and the indications
are that it will show Louisville's popula-
ton to be 100000. 1t is known now that
the figures show a large increase over
last year, but there is much wedding out
TO be done. Last year the directory
showed a population of 232, 900, or an
increase of 1900 over 1904, and of 5000
over 1908. If it goes to $50, 900 for 1906
it will show the enormous increase of
$4,000. Louisville is growing rapidly,
and there is no reason why that growth
should not be steady.
