figures include in the towns popula
ton the people living in the suburbs
just outside Of the corporate limits.
An instance: The census of 1915 gives
Punta Gorda population of over
100. There never were that many
people living within the corporate
limits. Undoubtedly the State emu
merator added to the towns popula-
ton the people living just outside o.
it in the suburbs Of Solana. Lavilla
and East Punta Gorda.
The Federal census Of this year
will show decrease in the popula-
ton OLA number of Florida towns,
particularly those in the phosphate
regions, which were almost depopu-
lated by the effects of the world war
and have not yet recovered their lost
population. Throughout South Flor
ida, however. there has been large
general increase.
Another Ahing the people should
| understand is this: The ratio of in
! crease shown by the Federal census
/, figures of 1910 for the decade ending
that year, should not be expected to
continue the same in all cases for the
decade ending this year. 1t would be
beyond reason, for example. to ex-
pect this years figures to show an
increase Of 1879 per cent in the popu-
lation of Tampa, which was the per
cent of increase for the decade end
ing 1910. In this district there are a
few exceptions. which will appear
when the figures are published.
In conclusion I will say that
truly believe that the census for this
First district of Flor Ida has lbeer
taken as correctly and completely al
any preceding census.
