POPULATION
IS INCREASING
Figures Out That About Twenty
thousand People Now Have
Homes in Adams County.

From the number of persons who own
real and personal property in Adams
county and the writeup of the rolls now
going on in Assessor f. L. Bradley's
Office it has been figured out that the
population of Adams county has very
materially increased during the last four
years since the census of 1900. The rolls
show that from conservative estimate
Adams county now enjoys population
OF from $1,000 to 10000, with the chances
that if a careful census was taken the
figures would be nearer 1900. Our
present rating in the fifteenth class based
on the census of 1000, which gave the
comfy about 10000 would be raised, and
if the figures were proven by other evi.
dence and It Is found that 10000 people
live in this county. our rating would be
in the tenth or eleventh class. the stand
ard would be much higher and besides
the added prestige and influence of the
larger class. raising of county officials
salaries, etc., better and more complete
records of all county business would be
required. A few. people are opposed to
the attempt at raising the class of the
county because of the raise in salaries
and added expense. This idea is wrong.
If the county is legitimately entitled to
better grade we believe the change
should be made. A petition signed by
every county official was presented to
the board Of county commissioners at
their last session asking that the matter
be taken up at once. but they failed to
take any action at that meeting.
