mond, the City OF Steady Growth,
Ere Next Census Is Taken.

Achieving the proud position of the
fourth city OF the South w forging
ahead OF Memphis, Richmond yester-
day voiced her determination to boost
this years mark of III, ,667 beyond
the quarter million mark in ten years
hence. New Orleans, Atlanta and
Birmipshum are the only Southern
cities larger than Richmond.
Cnbounded qualification was cx-
pressed by city officers and business
and financial heads at the 34.5 per
cent increase in the past decade and
1t WAS generally conceded that this
record could not have been bettercd
under tho conditions that existed
since 1914. although no question is
raised of the city's ability to chalk
up a 90 per cent advance by 1920. The
numerical increase was 44.O39, from
l27,62s. In 1910, it was i2,57S from
So,o5o. rise of SOL per cent.
When asked yesterday for his view
of Richmond's commercial and fnan-
cial standing as expressed In the
Federal census figures, John NJ. Mill
err Jr, president of the First Ma
ifonal Bank, spoke as follows:
