 Staffords Population Probably
 Over $500.
 F. Fl. Plumb finished his duties of enumerating the towns population, outside of the borough. within the scheduled time, although Stafford, in area, is one Of the largest In the state. While the enumeratOrs are not al lowed to give out any figures, it Is estimated that the population outside of the borough will exCeed tho emu meEation of ten years ago by at least one-third, and it is estimated that the borough will show about the same increase. Enumerator B. N. Law. son completed his duties in the borough about two weeks ago. Tho population of she town ten years age was 4, 297. and the borough 2,46O. The unexpected excellent showing of the town outside of she borough is due largely to the improved business con- ditions at Staffordville. Every tene. ment In that village is taken and many more could be uaed. MT. Plumb was shown univerual Oourtesy and had but very little trouble. He dtdfnot 6Ld an abandoned farm in the whole town. Any farm offered for sale soon finds an owner, chiefly among the Italians. who comprise at leaAt one-third of the foreign popu. latiOn of the town. MT. Plumb found only a very few Italians that could not read and write.
