The outcome of the police census, now
under way, is being awaited with much
interest in Anacostia and the adjacent
towns The belief Is expressed by those
conversant with the population con-
ditions that the count now going on
will show an aggregate of at least
1900 people living in the southeastern
suburbs. II this should be the result
1t will mean that an increase of about
1000 in the population of this part of
the District has taken place since the
last police census. In the opinion of
those acquainted with the situation,
however. this increase would be regard
ed as a moderate one only, and they are
inclined to think the figures may go
even higher.
1t has been a noticeable fact that the
population of this section has been
steadily increasing, new subdivisions
having been opened, new homes added
by scores from time to time, there being
but few vacant premises In any of the
suburbs here.

Eleventh precinct, has apportioned this
region into three districts for the GEN.

will take two weeks to complete the

of widening Tompkins avenue. Cen

name of Rosebank avenue, as a continu-
alton Of the Southfeld Boulevard from

whore; that is each end, is a dead one
and it is proposed to make it come out
somewhere near Stapleton on a
straight line. The south side end is at

he would land in some bushes or trees.
For some years drivers and automo-
bilists have urged its extension to Tot
t%enville on the south side and.its con-
tinuation to Stapleton on the north. II
Is expected that many will present
themselves before the board in oppo-
sition and for the project. The meet
ing will be held in the evening TO give
all a chance to be present.
