These figures include oeffies, stores. war ehouses and the like It is further found that there are 709 retail and g wholesale places in the 45 wholesale places in the business section.
 The value of these figures lies in the fact that they were not guessed at or decided upon theor etical1y, but were obtained by an actual count made by men WHO went oyer the enL1Te4 Cltys men who are expert in this work, having done 1t in other places. The house count further shows that of the total families it1 Bridgeport, 1,447 are paying $500 or more per month for their homes and fs, 221 $l2.o0 a month or less.
