a total of 1912 and the recent census 81

lines have been changed since the last
census was taken it is impossible to give
correct comparisons. At the former CEN
sus Columbia Heights and the contiguous
section were included in the eighth pre-

The section included in the tenth pre-

about twice what 1t was eight years ago.
In the eighth precinct there are now A.
573 inhabitants. These figures show an
apparent big increase when 1t is consid-
cred that a large part Of the precinct was
lost when the tenth precinct was formed.
The loss of this territory Is Offset, how
ever, by the addition of a stretch Of two
squares from the second precinct,
reaching from North Capitol street to
Rock creek. Despite the loss of so much
territory by the second precinct, it has a
total population of 39074, an increase of
100 as compared with the last census.
