Delta has only started to grow and,
to be fully abreast of its location, has
right to be twice as large as it is to-
day. This leaves margin for the
boom which may now be said to be
fairly setting in and gives some assur-
ance that the situation will not be over
done. Delta, in ten years from now.
when the next general census will be
taken, should have a population Of 25,-
600 people.
