BIG CAIN IN POPULATION
Omaha Census Taking Indicates
157,6Oo People in City.
PREDICTION OF THE COMPANY
Increase over Last Year of Nearly
Fifteen thousand, Says the Di-
reetOry Men, who Arc
Hard at Work.

According to census takers OF the Omaha
Directory company the new city directory
of Omaha will contain 10000 names, which
would mean a we'll estimated population
of 1880, an increase OF 1890
The solicitors and census takers of the
directory company are busy and are maxi
ing thorough search for the address OF
every man in the city, every unmarried
woman, student or young person working
who is not in school. When these names
are collected the directory company bases
its estimate of the population by multiply
ing the names In the directory by "a to
represent the names of married women
and children, whose names are not included
in the directory.
Being expert name getters the census
takers for the directory company are
usually enabled to secure names and ad-
dresses OF people overlooked by state or
federal census takers. The solicitors have
been frequently employed by commercial
clubs and town boosters to go over cities,
assisting the official census taker. In one
Missouri river city the directory solicitors
have the record for finding almost 1000
people after the census was taken by the
state solicitors.
In Omaha the total number OF names is
multiplied by only two and one-fourth. In
most cities the number Is multiplied by
two and a half. but the number of students
and young people in the city has led the
directory publishers to use a lower figure
to enable them to make a careful estimate
of the population of Omaha.
Several Thousand Increase.
I'VE cannot tell exactly how many names
there will be in the directory this year"
said a census taker. But l have discov-
cred a large increase on the various routes.
Indications are that the increase in the
number of names will be larger than last
year by several thousand
The population of Omaha last year was
estimated at 1425sO. the total number of
names in the directory being $3.50. The
South Omaha portion of the directory con-
tanned 13,4S0 names year ago, the popula-
tion being estimated at 3O,SSO making
combined population of 172,S90. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be almost 800 new
names in the South Omaha city directory.
which would make a total number of 14,2sO
names. This would give South Omaha an
estimated population of S2,1SO, and the com
bined population of the two cities would
be 1s9,6SO.
The increase which will probably be
shown this year when the directory is
published is not out of proportion with
the story of Omaha's growth. as shown by
the library of Omaha city directories. Ten
years ago the directory contained only
s5,O25 names; eight years ago 1882 names
appeared. An increase Of 1000 year has
been the record from 1901 to 1906. In 1906
the directory had 5s,s7e names and last
year g. $50. an increase -ofs .4S4 names in a
single year. 1t is said that the year of
1907 was even greater than during 1906.
