fecting the price Of the refrigerator or

local dealers that we are in position
to do this. There are no ifs or butts

w undertaken, police OF the city OF Will

creased so largely the 1910 Federal that
the police would show population OF more
than 100000
That prediction has been verified. The police cen
sus taken carefully by sixteen policemen has been
completed and the results have been sscertsined
The present population is 1O6.374, gain Of is 1868
since the Federal OF 1910, which showed
total of S7,411.
Such showing is well worth the labor required to
produce IT, We congratulate the police upon the ad
mrahle way in which they performed the task
signed TO them. Most OF all, however. felicitate
Wilmngtonians upon the fact that the city in which
they live and in which they take so much pride not
only has passed the 100000 mark but that has made
