CENSUS ENUMERAroRS TURN IN

FOURTH AND FIFTH WARDS
HAVE NOW BEEN COMPLETED
These Two Wards Combined Show In.

II You Haven't Been Counted.

The $4,000 mark in the official census
was passed today and there is the
promise that the total will reach $500
or more. County Auditor A. w. Dob
son thought that the census would be
more than 1874, which will be gain
of 1000 in ten years. This probability
is based on the fact that three Of the
FIVE wards are not yet completed. The
census will probably be finished in
two or three days.
Completed figures for the Fourth and
Fifth wards show just how substantial
and important to the city the gains in
popula ton in these two wards have
been. County Auditor Dobson consid-
ers both of them finished.
Make Substantial Gains.
The official total today for the
Fourth ward is 2,6s3. The >Marshall
town Clubs census Of the ward was
2.206 and the federal census of 1910
was 1920. The official count is a
gain of 3s3 over the 1910 census. and
the official census takers found AZ
more than the Marshalltown Club emu
merators could find.
The official total for the Fifth ward
is zoos. compared with 1855. the Of
fetal census of 1910, and 1925, the
Marshalltown Club census. The gain
is 323 over the 1910 census and so over

REALTY MARKET QUIET.

LARGE Deals.

Large Deals,
a real estate market that was quiet
in the dealings in all classes of prop
erty was broken into and made short
by the holiday of July 4. This fact.
and perhaps also the fact that the ex-
pected dullness Of the midsummer
months may be on the way, may nave
been the predominant influences in the
market. Whatever the cause there
were no large deals negotiated during
the week. The transactions were num-
erous enough but in the aggregate
their volume was small.
