City Engineers Chart Is
Used as Guide for
Future Expansion.

Easing computation on past sta
tistics, A. H. Moore, city engineer
today predicted Indianapolis will
have 100000 residents in 1860.
Moore also believes that in the
next twenty-nine years Indianapolis
will annex the county. This would
boost the total population of the
county to $4,000 by 1860.
Moore gathered his data and drew
the legend in view Of the proposed
financial rehabilitation of the In
dianapolis Street Railway Com
pany and for use in estimating the
size Of city sewers in the next few
years.
The chart, starting at 1890, has
solid lines that indicate the present
population, 364,161 in Indianapolis
and 442,666 in the county, accord
ing to 1880 government census fig
ures. The dotted lines are his pre-
dictions
IF my theory should materialize
in the future, even with the acqui-
sition of the county by the city,
the hope of a million population
will not be realized for years to
come" he said.
Moore pointed out to the steady
gorwth in county and city popula-
ton since 1890.
