OCTOBER TAKES BIG
NEW Squirt

The outstanding feature Of their
report, however. Is the fact that
while for 10 months the average in
crease has been n shade over 400 a
month, that the last two or three
months show greatly increased
percentage; that during the month
OF October there was net gain OF
$50 phones. or an increase OF every
phone In use OF practically per
cent.
III we. therefore, figure that the
population OF Seattle is $50, 900. then
during tho month Of October we have
made per cent increase, or $500
people. indicating that Seattle ia now
increasing at the rate Of upwards OF
10000 people year.
with all the publicity that tho
Chamber Of Commerce. the news.
papers and tho railroads are now Civ.
ing Seattle and the Northwest. many
well informed people believe that the
increase Of population for the com.
ing year win be the greatest that

TELEPHONES SHOW
POPULATION INCREASE

Tho telephone company has Just
Issued statement which efnpha-
sizes the growth OF Seattle and that
Il IL recently assuming a larger in.
crease. For tho entire year OF
1929 the actual number OF tele.
phones In use increased 1905. or an
increase for the year OF about 6 per
cent. As the population at the start
OF 1922 was figured at somewhere
between $4,000 and 10000. a per
cent increase would have been about
1900.
Tho city directory and heads Of
the water and light department all
have estimated that tho increase
for 1922 was somewhere between
$1,000 and 10000 people. The recent
statement made by the telephone

months Of this year there has al.
ready been net increase OF 4,o56
