Such Is the forecast Of the com
mercial engineers hired by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Company
to make a survey Of present condi'
tions in Washington and to outline
what will happen to the National
Capital in the next twenty years.
The engineers report Washington's
population today as 43S.00O, a figure
arrived at from a canvass made by
a dozen men who spent four months
here, visiting every house, apart
ment building, and hotel In Wash
ington. This population is prac'
tically the same as shown by the
Federal census. taken In January,
1920, which was 437,571. According
to the engineers. the population has
practically been at a standstill.
The population OF the suburbs is
placed at 4l,000, bringing the total
10 $4,000.
The estimate for the total popu.
lation Of the city and suburbs In
1912 is placed at 724.000. with
$4,000 Of these persons living In the
suburbs.
The number of families in Wash
ington today Is 100,957, the report
says, or 110,Ss6 in the city and
suburbs. or the total number OF
families. the telephone company's &
census showed that 67,65S lived In
houses and the rest in apartments
A negligible number live In lodging
houses.
Where Are Those Houses!
The survey showed that 9,024
ia. F,nfli L., l..
for SIS a month or less and 3,156
families live In houses renting from
$40 to $25 a month, with 3.254
families living In flats or apart.
ments at the same rental.
On the other hand, 6,940 families
live in apartments renting for 500
a month and up, and 5.s6S families
live in apartments which rent from
$50 TO 800.
The engineers found that the aver.
age number of persons In the Wash
ington family is dropping. The study
showed as follows: In 1890 the aver.
age Washington family was 5.24: In
1900, 4.90; in 1910, 4.65; In 1920, 4.55i
and 1922, 4.34.
In an effort to determine the
changes in population, the telephone
census divided the city into its nine
wards. The growth In these neigh
borhoods are as follows: s--'
In the first ward, which takes in
downtown Washington, the present
number OF families is placed at 32,,
445, compared with 3l,20s in 1920
and 26, 400 in 1910.
In the second ward, which takes In
the northeast section, directly north.
east OF the Capitol, the number of
families is placed at 1871, compared
with 12.lS4 in 1920 and 9,359 in 1910,

What Is to Come.
The next reports will deal with the
neighborhoods in which the addi-
tional population will live: what
neighborhoods have changed and are
changing from residence to business;
how many new hotels, office build
ings and theaters there will be, and
in general an accurate picture of the
years from today.
The statistics which have been
studied include. school enrolment
figures, directory names. volume Of
wholesale and retail business trans
acted, bank csearings. postal receipts,
building permits, telephone statis-
tics, school board reports and figures
annually published by the city gov
ernment, including taxes, assess
ments and automobile license details.
The engineers have also noted the
number OF railroad tickets sold an
nually, the circulation Of library
books, the amount of telephone busi-
ness and the results of the police

HIGH SCHOOLS
ALL CROWDED
ANDNO RELIEF
Officials Expect Enrolment to
Break Records This
Year.

High school facilities in Washing
ton are entirely inadequate to meet
the needs Of the city, resulting in
serious congestion with no relief In
sight, according to school officials.
The schools are more crowded today
than ever In the history of the school
system, they say.
Central High School, built TO ac-
commodate 1900 students, today Is
caring for 3,11O; Eastern, built for
$50 students. is caring for 1,050:
Western, built for $50, is caring for
917: Mckinley, built for 1,100, Is
caring for 1,479, and Business, built
for 900. Is caring for 1855.
The situation in the colored high
schoolseis similar. Armstrong, built
for 400 students. is caring for 1920;
Dunbar High, built for 1900, Is car.
ing for 1924.
The two junior high schools, Shaw
and Columbia, are the only schools
in the city which are not crowded.
School officials, however, predict
that It is only a matter OF a few
years before these schools will be
congested.
The total enrolment in the schools
today Is 81 2,526, compared with 60,924
a year ago today. The daily increase
is running more than 1000, and
school officials predict a breaking Of
all enrolment records in the next
few days.
The new Eastern High School Will
be completed and ready for occu'
pancy In February. This school will
care for 1900 students, 400 hundred
more than old Eastern is now caring
for. School officials say this new
school will not relieve the congestion

SHR|NERS WILL
HAVE PLENTY To
EAT IN CAPITAL
Supplies Enough to Feed an
Army Will Be Needed at
Convention.

More than 1000 head OF cattle.
100000 loaves OF bread, 200, 1000
dozen eggs and other supplies in
proportion will be required TO feed
the 100000 Shriners who will visit
Washington next June for the
four days of the annual session
alone, II was estimated today by
the Almas Temple committee in
charge. When it is pointed out
that the majority OF the 100000
will stay a week or ten days and
many for two full weeks. the prob
lem of feeding the multitude be-
comes apparent.
Figuring on the four days Of
the session alone, for the Shriners
alone, exclusive OF the 100000 or
more visitors. the committee made
the following estimates of provi-
sions needed above Washington s
normal consumption:
One half loaf of bread each per
day for four days. 10000 loaves
With ten inches as the length OF
the average loaf OF bread, this
huge number. laid end to end.
would make a continuous line Of
bread nearly 100 miles long, or
more than enough to go twice
around the District of Columbia.
Some Butter Bill!
One.ha!f pound of meat per day.
100000 pounds. One fish each, for
the entire p,riod of four days,
100000 fishes. One chicken each,
o0,OoO: Two eggs each per day.
E40O,OOO eggs. One pound of but
ter each 100000 pounds. or $50
tons. One cigar a day, 1900 900
cigars-a decidedly conservative
estimate. One-half pound Of fruit
a day. 100000 pounds. or 300 tons.
One pint of coffee each per day,
100000 quarts.
The committee also estimates
that the 100000 visitors will pur.
chase 100000 copies Of newspa-
pers containing accounts of Shrine
events for mailing to friends at
home.
Candy dealers are expected to reap
small fortunes, as the Shriners COM
ing here are expected to buy not less
than 100000 pounds. This figure.
like the others, is based on conditions
at the last session in San Francisco.
Experience at other Shrine ses-
sions shows the average personal ex-
penditure for four days to be 800
each. For the 300, 900 expected here
this will amount to sac. 0.000, 900. In
San Francisco this amount was clear.
ed above normal, and the expendi-
lures for the week following the scs.
sion amounted to an additional s15,.
100000.
Gas Dealers to Gain.
A minimum of 10000 automobiles
Is expected. Gasoline for running
about the city and for filling pre-.
Nlous TO departure, estimating 20
gallons to the car, will amount to
100000 gallons. This quantity, with
oils and grease in proportionate
quantities, Washington dealers will
be called upon to furnish.
Marching In column, four abreast
ana with three feet between ranks,
the regular army column of squads,
but without intervals bstween com.
panies and battalions, the column Of
100000 Shriners would extend forty.
five miles.
This enormous column would ex-
tend from the Treasury over the Bal.
timore pike through Baltimore aud
five miles beyond. 1t would extend
from the Treasury north to Fred
erick, Nd.
Parades Of Magnitude.
The magnitude OF the street pa
rades to be held here can be Judged
