HAMTRAMCK SHOWS BIG
INCREASE IN POPULATION
Automobile business Transform. VII
iase of 5000 Into City OF
2l,OOO Since 1910.

Striking evidence Of the prosperity Of
tho automobile industry is revealed by
the recent action OF President Wilson
In ordering special census takon OF
the village OF fIamtramck. Mich
Eugene F. Hartley. an Official OF the
census bureau, has just completed his
task, and his records show that since
1910 when the last census was taken.
Hamtramck has enjoyed a 5ot per cent
increase in population. In 1910, tho
population was 1850 and the recent
census shows that o1.242 people now
reside within the limits of the village.
Following the finding Of Mr.. Hartley,
Hamtramck is automatically raised
from the status OF third or fourth
class city to that OF nrst class. This
means increased pay for post-offic off,
Gals and free delivery OF mail to resi-
dents.
Government officials say the cause
for the big increase in population Is due
to the automobile business. Ham
tramck is situated just to the northeast
Of Detroit and contains the huge plant
Of Dodge Brothers. AT the time Dodge
Brothers commenced the manufacture
of motor cars. they employed under
5000 men. To-day the number Is we'll
over 5000. with facilities under way
which will afford employment for many
more men.
Hamtramck's special census was only
the second one ordered by the Wilson
administration, the other census being
taken at Tulsa, Okla.
