Spencer.
Last week it was announced what
was thought to be the official count
for the city of Spencer az 4,17s. but the
assessor, H. S. Jones, had some cards
that he had not placed on the register.

to the auditor, and after 1t was checked
up 1t was found that the Official count
gave us population Of .4,230 This
is a gain OF exactly 1925 in Ave years,
