II am somewhat disappointed. as
have felt quite sure we would count
out over 10000. despite the fact that
nearly half of Chattanooga's real
population is outside of our narrow
corporate lines. We have in fact a
city of 100000 population and it is a
pity not to be able to get credit for
it. The recount may help some. At
any rate, an increase of 80 per cent.
is quite substantial and much greater
than most of the cities are showing;
and We must remember that quality
as well as quantity is to be consid-
cred and that is where Chattanooga
surely comes in," declared Mayor A.
Y. Chambliss.
Local manufacturers, bankers and
business men expressed themselves
in very much the same way as Mayor
Chambliss in speaking of the census
figures. All seem to agree that the
showing is unusually good in view
of the fact that annexation failed
and very little territory has been
taken into the corporate limits since
the last federal census.

estimated that Chattanooga has a
population of at least $4,000, but the
are not included in the cen

c. c. Nottingham, vice president
of the First National bank, summed
up the situation pretty well when he
said that the increase shown by the
census report is satisfactory consid-
ering that tie suburbs were not an
nexed, but the report gives Chatta-
nooga secondary rating among the
cities of the country when she is

c. M. Preston, vice president of

that the percentage of increase was
very satisfactory. His estimate for
the city of Chattanooga, he said, was
about 10000 more than the census
report indicates. =

Automobiles, trucks, wagons and
interurban trains were used to con-
vey residents, but for lack of
sufficient accommodation thousands
walked. The situation is beginning
to have its effect on retail trade
here, according to the report of one
trade agency, and many other city
activities were being affected by lack
OF transportation as the strike en-
tered its third day. Leaders OF the
strikers maintained their position
that the Is per cent. wage increase
granted by the arbitration board
could not be accepted because 1t did
not give the men enough to support
