Well Worth Celebrating

1T do not like brag and buster but it is but right for city of Birming- hams solid growth to celebrate its strides from time to time and am glad to see the census jubilee arrangements working out so well,' said business man. Twenty years ago l had faith in Birminghams future, but had no idea that the city woul dreach the 100,- 900 class by 1910.
 T was greatly interested in the fig ures printed in the Hotel Lobbies column which showed the percentage of increase of the principal cities of this country. In the case of nearly ev- cry city where there was a large per centage of gain the boundary lines had been extended and considerable su- burban population annexed. This was so in Atlanta, Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburg. Richmond, Toledo and many others, including Birmingham.
 Now, as was shown in the compara- sions taken from the census bulletin only one city besides Birmingham, of the 100000 class and upwards, had a percentage gain as high as 100 per cent, ana that one was LOS Angeles with 211 per cent increase-94 per cent below Birmingham. Of course, every well informed person understands that these big percentages, where large areas were annexed, are more apparent than real. But as was pointed out in The Age-Herald, Greater Birmingham's actual rate of increase, taking the pop ulation of the same territory now in- cluded in the city limits. as it was in 1900. for comparison, was upwards of 100 per cent-about 102 per cent as as- certained approximately by MT. R.. B. Smyer, who was census supervisor ten years ago. If Atlanta's actual increase were analysed its percentage would be found not much above 40.
 Jefferson coun/s rate of increase was 61 per cent. and it will be seen from the census bulletin that very few counties In the United States increased as much as 25 per cent. Certain it Is that Birminghams census, with Jeff ferson county's growth to back it, is well worthy of celebration"
