22,4O9POPUL ULAT|ON GIVEN BESSEMER
Unofficial Count Shows Rapid Increase Since Last
 Census
BEsSEMER BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD


 E Bessemer has a population of 22.409 at the close of 1928. accord ing to a survey made for the Cham Der of Commerce. the figures of which have just been received. This survey was made by the Newspjaper Feature Service, statistical experts, at the request of the Chamber sever al months ago. and shows an in crease of nearly 4,000 in the four years since the last census was taken.
 This estimate was based on re- ports taken by a representative of the company sent here some time ago. and on data which Is conceded to be sound and conservative medium. The figures were arrived at by actual count of homes, water connections. gas service and the school census. It refers only to that area embraced within the city limits and does not include such populous suburbs as Brighton, the pipe works district nor the communities on Red mountain, which adioins the city limits.
 The population is divided as fol- lows: Males, 11.495: females, 1o,s14. Persons over q years of age, males, 6.S95; females, 6.16S. The number of families is estimated at 5,621.
 The report shows that housing conditions are badly congested, there being fewer dwellings per family than in the case In cities of this size. It is generally felt that an actual count will reveal a popula- ton of over 25,000. Two years ago an estimate was made, based on the school census which showed nearly 22,000, but this was felt to be over estimated at the time, because of the unusually large number of children attending city schools from the suburbs and the rural sections.
