made, we recently took census of the number of residences in this ter ritory, which figures were 5,763. If you multiply this number by ), which is the usual method, of esti- mating-five to a family-it will give our population 2S,S15.
 Through the telephone system and the Pine Bluff water and light sys- tenn of estimating the population of cities practically the same number, 2S,000 has been arrived at.
 As these figures were made in 1917, and as every one knows, during the past year there has been a demand for residences. stores and office room l which is unprecedented in the history ot our city. There certainly cannot be any hazard in guessing that if we add this territory our census report. which will be taken next year, will give us a population of at least 3O,- i 900 people.
 Now, as to the benefit that the pop ulation of the annexed territory will received; the additional taxes they will pay, as shown by the tax reports, amounts to $25OO. THAT IS ALL. The city council has agreed, by res olution, to expend every dollar of this sum in extending lights and water and in addition do as much street work as the city finances and equip ment will permit. Could anything be l fairer than this? ; 9&s> '
 By coming into the city it will per- init those who are inclined to do so to | enforce sanitary regulations as pre- scribed by the city laws. They can form their own special improvement districts for such street work as they might desire or connecting up with our present sewer system and such other public utilities and conven- fences as they may desire, and which cannot hardly be done through the county government.
 l am exceedingly glad to state that { some of our most prominent citizens living in this proposed annexation and who opposed being annexed when the petition was presented to the city council, are now strongly advocating it, and are using their influence for the annexation in every legitimate way.
 ! We hope our citizens will carefully consider this subject, which l deem as vitally important to our future prosperity. and that on the day oi our city election, which l believe is on the first day of April. when they go to the polls, they will vote for larger and better city.

 It will be noted that Fort Smith stood practically still for these five years while Pine Bluff grew from 16 per cent in the number of wage earn CTS to 121 per cent ill the amount of material used, and these figures do not include the industrial plants or the wage earners located beyond our city limits, as, for instance, the McIn- tyre and Sons, NortonWheeler Slave company and others.

The continued strength of the shares

corning American Sugar but which can
not be verified In official circles is to the

PROMINENT MEN TO
TELL OF BOOKS
IN WAR AND PEACE

How books and magazines helped
the American forces to victory and
have stood by them during demobili-
za ton will be set forth by men of
| Et-Ional prominence at the forty first
J annual conference of the American
Library association at Asbury Park,
n. j.. June 1928.
i Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, will tell what books and library
! service have meant to the navy. The
aid which libraries and reading have
rendered in maintaining the morale OF
the army will be described by Briga-
the morale branch of the army general
staff, and Frederick p. KeppeIl, third
assistant secretary of war.
Much of the conference session will
be devoted to discussion of the prob
lens and experiences of the Library
War Service of the American Library
association. with reports by library
workers returned from overseas.
1enong other speakers of note will be
Jules Jesserand, French ambassador TO
the United States, and Charles Perg-
Ter, the Szecho- Slovak commissioner in
this country
Problems of reconstruction will be
considered, such as survey of the en-
pose OF improving service already ex-
listing, and establishment of service
where needed an effort to obtain more
adequate appropriations for libraries
anad better salaries for librarians; and
the advisability of attempting to raise
permanent endowment fund for peace
time work of the association.
Among the librarians who will take
park in the reconstruction program are
the president of the association, w.
w. Bishop, librarian of the University
of Michigan; Shalmers HadIey librar-
ian of the Denver public library, and
recently a field representative of the
Library War Service and who visited
Pensacola last March; and Paul NJ

library.

can Library association at the naval

edge of the Plaza yesterday evening,

see, when 1t was attached to a street
corner fire plug or hydrant and
pumped the water directly from s.4e
city mains, as it would be obliged to
do in case of fire. The demonstra-
ton was very satisfactory to all who
saw it, and convinced them that Pen
sacola now has a splendid protector
against conflagration. regardless of
pressure in the mains, as the truck
threw an immense stream of water
into the air nearly as sigh as the
American Bank building and almost
across the Plaza.
