Washington. April l5.-That a COM

that number 9f perfectly loyal workmen

BOST ON MAY BE FOURTH.
81. Louis Fall in Population Gain Ma,
Denote Her to Fifth City.

Washington, April 16.-St. Louis,
fourth city of the country In 1910, had
"A population of 773,000 on January /
this year and showed an increase of 81, ,971,
or l2.5 per cent over ten years ago. The
rate of growth during the last ten years
was the smallest of any decade since
the founding of the city, and the in
crease In number was smaller than in
any decade since that ended in 1880,
when the rate of incre ase was 12.S per
cent.
Whether st. Louis or Boston will now
rank as the fourth largest city depends
On the Boston figures, which have not
been made public. Compilation of esti-
mates of the population OF the two cities
as of January last, by arithmetical pro-
gression had brought the total number
nf their inhabitants within 777 of each
other, with st. Louis leading. These es-
Inmates, based on the assumption that
she increase each year since 1910 had
been equal TO the annual increase from
1900 to 1910, gave st. Louis 700, 1893 and
Boston 796, l56. In the 1910 census Bos-
ton showed an increase of 1916 per cent
for the decade, while St Louis showed
an increase of 1914 per cent st. Louis
and Boston were the only cities within
the 100000 class IN 1910.

erection of a concrete bridge over
Ireland's brook on the road leading
from Dunham's Corner TO the Hell
meta cross roads
This bridge is the one over which
the f~reeholders have experienced
such great difficulty in getting the
work started. as a result of the OBJ
jections made by County Engineer
Fox, who has stated that the pro-
postal price was too high. The last bid
received for this WORK was $3.50, or
nearly $1,000 ore than the county
engineer estimated to be a fair price
although a mysterious bIu or which
no n seems to know was rendered
offering to do the job for $4,000
Under the latest action In regard to
this matter the county engineer was
yesterday authorized to prepare al
tentative plans for either an eight
foo or twelve foot span and by a
second resolution the plans were ap-
proved and the engineer authorized
to ask for new bids
BY the alternate plans proposals are
expected for building the bridge with
a wide span thereby eliminating the
| use of Golfer dams. and with a naI
