counted for by the development of
business which encroached upon
territories formerly heavily resi-

Cording to census forms.
On government estimates that
40 per cent of the population is

represents one unemployed person
IN every ten normally employed.
No unemployment Isl vas taken

Final revised population figures
places Indianapolis ahead OF Seattle,

a total population of 1868 1874. which
is 934 less than indianapolis.

merators closely approximate those
obtained in other competent checks,
Wilmeth said.
Using the same ratio of increase
in elementary school enumeration
between 1920 and 1880, Wilmeth
said. and applying it to the 1920
census Of 314.194. would give In
