 The total of all sorts of Smiths be ginning with ~' A Abraham Smith and ending with Wilson Smith is sos. That means there are. considerably more than a thousand in the city counting those whose names don't ap- pear: .fs. .Ia
 The Joneses run very poor. sec ond in point of number. There are only 109 Bridgeporters by the name of Jones who have broken into the print of the new directory. There are almost as many Millers as Jones' es in the 1912 directory.

Following the sratio that exists between the direc- tory list and the census for the four decades, the population of. 1912 ought 10 be, based on the total of 49,8S7 directory names, for a ratio, fronl f15O00 to 12O,o0o It's interesting to estimate but the ratio is of course not altogether dependable
