The population Of the District Of Co.
lumbia on July l was 493, 900, an in
crease Of 6,l3l since April /, 1880, when
the Federal census was taken, the Com
merce Departments Bureau of Census
estimated today.
The bureau said the population here
increased 5000 between July l., 1890
and July /, 1881, and 1000 during the
last fiscal year.
At the latter rate Of growth the popu-
lation here should top the 100000 mark
in 1886. AS 1t now stands the city

and is less than 1000 under the popu-

U. S. Gains sI4,635.
The bureau estimated the total popu-

only 914635 during the last fiscal year,
the lowest rate in more than decade
and 162,778 less than for the 1880 fls-
cal year.
This was attributed to the big de-
cline in immigration figures, which
amounted to only 7,086. This figure
was 186, 1892 under the 1880 estimate.
The bureau said 1926, ,692 births &C.

amounted to 1,389,143. Births increased
only 1873 over the previous year. while

Persons claiming to have passed 100
years in 1880 totaled 1884, as compared
with 4,267 in 1920, a decrease of IL per

While reporting that only / .o05 re-

the Census Bureau, with its tongue IN

Because persons Of advanced age
sometimes knowingly report themselves
to the enumerator as older than they
actually are, or, not knowing their true
ages, make exaggerated guesses. the re-
turns undoubtedly overstate the NUMBER
of centenarians, particularly in the
