ing to indications given by census

work today. Supervisor Edward
Giuck, who has the census taking
work In this city in charge, Is cele-
brating the tbirty-first anniversary
Of his birthday today in beginning
to tabulate the various figures at
hand. The work is tedious and he
does not expect that 1t will be COM
pieted much before September I.
The city has grown with the same
leaps and bounds during the past
five years as 1t did for the ten years
previous to 1900. The tabulation
has Just been started and it is there
fore impossible to gain an accurate
report of the population as yet, but
there is every indication that 1t will
be about 10000. The census IN
1910 showed the population OF
Perth Amboy to be 32,121. This
would Indicate that the population
has Increased about 1879 during the
past Hfc lcdlS- AS tAc IEuSd5 Va
1900 showed population of 1853,
the growth for ten years up to 1910
was 14,422. In 1890 the city's pop
ulation was 9.512, showing the
growth to 1900 to be 8.1S7.
Up in New Brunswick, the county
seat town. some fear is expressed
that the population of that place

of city officials there. The census
takers declare that the figures will
total that amount. The 1910 CEN
