MANY CLAIM
LEFT OUT IN
485,7l6
Commissioners Among Those
Surprised at Figures Given
Out for City's Population

The small number of residents
for the District enumerated in
the 1880 census, as announced
by census officials, may lead to .
recount, If a check proves the
figures to be correct.
The announcement of the 49,
716 total for the District brought
expressions Of surprise from civic
leaders, all of whom had believed
that the count would show more
than half a million people in
Washington.
Many Not Listed
Recent complaints are said to-
show that many persons living ii
the city were not listed in the
census. Many people are said to
have declared that. for some Tea.
son, they were never approached
by an enumerator. and it. is de-
clared that, for example, there
are two entire blocks in an out
lying section of the District which
were not canvaSSed.
Estimates made by the com.
pliers Of the city directory placed
the number of Washington resi-
dents at 591,616. This estimate
was based on the number Of
names in the alphabetical section
Of the directory, with allowance
for women and children whose
names would not be listed sepa-
rately. The estimate of the tele-
phone company was also over
10000
Although the gain in the past
decade shown by the figures re-
leased is only approximately II
per cent, j. Sterling Moran, super
visor Of the census for the Dis.
trict, pointed out that the in
creased use Of the automobile has
led a larger number Of people
working in Washington to make
their homes in the nearby Sec
tions o. Maryland and Virginia.
Commissioners Surprised
Among those expressing sur.
prise at the SmallneSS of the
number listed for Washington
were al. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby
and DR.. Luther Reichelderfer,
Distric Commissioners; Charles
w. Darr. president of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce,
and DR.. George C. Havenner,
president of the Federation of
Citizens Association.
No criticism of the Census Bu-
reau was offered, but there have
been numerous suggestions that q
recheck is desirable.
