'' Trend of Federal Activities.-The
extraordinary growth in Federal ac-
tivitieS during the past decade re-
sulting primarily from the necessities
of operation on a wartime scale, but
rejecting also the expansion of many
other Federal activities, resulted in
what was apparently an abnormal
growth in population of the District.
A similar growth was apparent be-
tween 1860 and 1870, also possibly the
result of war activities. At the pres
ent time there is observed tendency
to decentraliZe Federal activities
through the establishment of local or
district offices in various parts of the
United States. There has. of course,
also been a substantial reduction in
the size of the Government establish
ment since the conclusion OF the war.
On the other hand, as civilization in
creases in complexity, governr1ental
functions tend to increase in nSm-
Der and extent, and it seems alto
gether likely that the number of Fed
eral employees located in Washington
will or can be substantially dimin-
ished.
Trend of population-The popuIa-
ton of the District of Columbia has in
creased in each decade, but by widely
differing percentages. From 1900 to
1910 the rate of increase was almost
80 per cent, but from 1880 to 1870 was
only Ills per cent. From 1860 TO 1870
the increase was over rs per cent, and
from 1900 to 1920 less than 10 per cent
Expressed in numbers rather than per-
centages, the law of growth for cities
as for many other natural phenomena
appears to result in three fairly well
defined periods-first, a rather slow
and relatively unimportant develop
ment; second, period of rapid growth
followed by a third period during
which the rate of growth diminishes
quite similarly to its rate of increase
through the first period. The deriva-
ton of the mathematical law of
growth for any particular city is COM
plicated by the occurrence from time
to time of such extraordinary condi.
tons as existed in Washington during
the World War"

in 1880, in spite of the fact that street
railways, motor busses and private
automobiles now furnish much more
rapid, comfortable and economical
transportation than was available in
1880.
The report states that a study of
density shows 14.4 per cent of Wash
lngton's population living within
mile of central downtown point and
45.2 per cent living between l and
miles from the center, or a total
of 59.6 per cent of the population
within 2-mile radius.
Back in 1880 Chicago had only 433
per cent of its population living within
a comparable radius.
Growth Analysed.
The report includes an analysis of
the increase in one and Two family
houses and apartment buildings COM
piled by the Washington Board of
Trade. To show the rate of growth
by localities the city was divided into
eight sections. Explaining how growth
has progressed in these eight sections,
the report goes on:
This analysis of building permits
for the past five years shows a very
meager percentage increase in housing
facilities in section 1. which is prac-
tically identical with the old city. Sec
ton 2, comprising the area bounded by
Rock Creek Park, Piney Branch Park
way, Soldiers Home and Florida ave-
nue., shows very little increase in one
and two family houses, but something
over a 100 per- cent increase in the
number of apartments during the five
year period. Sections 3 and 4 compris-
ing the area lying west of Georgetown
an Rock Creek Park, embracing both
the Burleith and Chevy Chase sections
show the largest increase in housing
facilities, the increase in the case of
each of these sections being approx
mately 200 per cent for all dwellings,
for the five-year period. In section 3
this increase is approximately equally
divided between one and two family
houses and apartments, while in sec
ton the increase in apartments pre-
dominates"
Business Gains Greater.
The engineers say that the general
business activity of the city, as indi-
Gated by postal receipts and national
bank deposits during the past IL years,
has been at rate approximately four
times as great as the increase in pop
ulation. During the same period the
passengers carried by the railway and
bus lines of the local transportation
companies has been at an average rate
only slightly in excess of the rate of
increase in population.
During the years 1914 and 1915,
when the motor vehicle first came into
extended use the number of revenue
passengers showed a decrease from the
peak in 1913. This loss was recovered
during the period of war activity in
Washington, but since 1919 the in
crease in revenue passengers has been
at an average rate approximately the
same as the increase in population,
although the year 1924 shows a slight
falling off as compared with the two
preceding years. In marked contrast
to the increase in the use of local
street railway and bus transportation
facilities is the growth in the use of
private automobiles. the gross num-

SECURITY PARLEy

Allied and German Ministers
viii Probably Meet in
Geneva Conference.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Switzerland, September
5.-The interest of the IA ministers
now gathered in Geneva for the as
sembly of the League of Nations next
week was focused tonight on the
probability that about the end of
September a meeting is likely to take
place between DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann, NJ. BRAND. Austen Chamberlain
and NJ. Vendervelde, respectively. the
German, French, British and Belgian
foreign ministers, and possibly also
Premier Mussolini of Italy, to dis
cuss guarantee pact dedicated to
the consultations of peace in Europe.
The allied ministers plan to extend
the invitation to DR.. Stresemann as
soon as they have examined the re-
port of the Jurists of their reSpec-
tive countries who have been sitting
i'm London the past week discussing
the preliminary details of the secur-
ity pact.
Word reaching the ministers from
London is that the talks of the jurists
have produced no obstacles which
can be regarded as insurmountable
Hence, an optimistic feeling is evil
dent that direct conversations can
be inaugurated with Germany, doing
away with the system of eXChang-
ing written communications.
Americans predominated in the
crowd which filled the Hobbies of the
league palace today. The council,
sitting this morning and again in the
afternoon, devoted itself chiefly to
minOritieS' problems and succeeded
in settling the delicate question of
the treatment of Hugarian farmers
resident in Rumania whose lands
We're appropriated. Rumania agreed
to pay an indemnity of 100000 gold

an average annual increase of over
80 per cent for the 12-year period"
Transients Number 5000.
The report estimates there are more
than 5000 transients always in Wash
ington, based on data obtained from
the hotels of the city. Discussing
transient population, the report con-
tinues:
1T is considered one of Washing
toms obligations to suitably provide for
these visitors to the National Capital,
and the city may be Justly proud of
ering, the Shriners' convention, was
provided for when consideration is
given TO the fact that the city was
entertaining visitors numbering nearly
three quarters of the resident popu-
lation. Washington possesses a num-
Der Of unusually good hotels, which
are filed to maximum capacities with
many OF these convention parties. The
city thus has to provide for an un-
usually widely fluctuating transient
population.
Housing Notwithstanding the past
five years the population of the City
of Washington is estimated to have
increased about 1872 per cent. During
the same period housing has increased
little less than % per cent, indicat-
ing that the tremendous shortage of
housing facilities existing in 1920 has,
to considerable extent, been over
come. 1t is of particular interest to
note that while Washington has been
largely a city of private dwellings, the
apartments in apartment houses have
in the past five years increased at
something over twice the rate of one
and two family houses. This per
centage is, however, somewhat mis-
leading as the actual gain in housing
facilities has been accomplished by the
construction of 15, 500 houses and s 1000
apartments.
Apartments Restricted.
AS was to be expected the construc-
ton of apartment buildings has been
largely confined to what is known as
the old city, constituting an area
bounded roughly by Rock Creek,
Florida avenue and East Fifteenth
street. In this area approximately
1000 families have been provided for
through the construction of apart
ments and less than 1000 by the con-
Struction Of one and two family
houses. In the districts lying beyond
the boundaries of the old city the in
crease in housing facilities has been
very largely through the construction
of private dwellings,. 1t seems that in
spite of the relatively rapid percentage
increase in apartments, the popularity
of the private house may continue to
make 1t the principal source of in
creasing housing facilities.

city of Washington is free to develop
for residential purposes at all points
