to say in regard to the census returns
OF the Maine cities: The census bu-

not appear in the list it is evident that
| the enumerators failed To find that
number of people here. Portland has
| 5S,571. a gain of S426, or 1853 per cent
since 1900. Lewiston is credited with
26,247 a gain of 24S6 or 10.5 per cent

Bangor figures? Bangor, Maine, for Il
years a city and ''metrolopus' at that
| seems to have been forgotten. II
may be that special difficulties We're
encountered in our case. Maybe
Bangor is like the brisk little pig that
wouldn't stay still long enough to be
counted.
