Douglas will start the new veal
with population of 1921, according
to the figures arrived at by the survey
and census completed by the News
paper Feature bureau, of Wheeling.
w. Va This compares to 9916 count
ed as the population for 1920 when
the federal government census was
taken. The census for this year was
taken by the bureau for the Chamber
of Commerce. There are numerous
factors which enter into the work of
arriving at the final figures and these
furnish the foundation for the belief
that the conclusions are reasonably
accurate.
In making up its finding, the
bureau considered the births and
deaths and the excess of the former
over the latter; the increase in the
city's qualified voters between the
last census and the present one; the
increase in children of school y age
and the increase of domestic water
service, all of these being considered
in connection with the fact that ther
has been no territory added to the
city area.

the number of qualified voters has
increased 90 per cent over the num-

lation has increased 80 per cent and
there has been an increase of 33
per cent in the active water service
for domestic use.
Worked out upon the basis indi-
Gated, the conclusion reached is that
the population Of Douglas today
stands at 1921 and by classifications
compares with the 1920 census as
shown in this table:
