Any town or city is just as
good as the people who make up
its population.
Motor ears are measured by
the millions. More and more in
sistently they clamor for place on
the highways of the world. Far
sighted people are building high
ways so wide, so direct and un-
INSTRUCTED that the flow of. thou
sands of cars each day is swift
and easy.
1t seems that it is not a ques-
ton of what industries can pay
in the way of taxes, but ques-
ton of how much can be wrung
from them by any means.
A good citizen is one who is
willing at all times to make some
sacrifice of his time and money
to advance the common welfare
of his home city.
A favorite sport of some of our
professors is to imagine them
selves prophets and with fascinat-
ing visions talk about day before
yesterday and theb day after to-
morrow, while the people want to
hear about what is going on to-
day. e si .
Business is better is the word
that is being passed down the line
these days, for business is better
and people are taking notice of
that fact.
Civilization without highways
would be impossible.
The successful business men of
a community, expressing their i'm
dividual and collective views
through their Chamber of Com
merce, can make that community
outstanding in every phase of
community endeavor.
By reading the advertisements
you can find where to buy the
best for less.
If some politicians We're re-
quired to think before they
speak, they wouldn't do much

POPULATION ESTIMATES
Tampa Tribune)

y
We have before us the United States.
Census Bureau estimates of Florida city
and county population for 1884. The ,es-
Inmates are based on other estimates made
by DIR. Stewart G. Thompson, Director of
the Bureau of Vital Statistics, Florida State
Board of Health. No statement is given
as to just how DR.. Thompson arrived at his
estimates. There has been no official or
unofficial count of Florida population since
1880, when the last decennial census was
taken. In 1885 there will be a state GEN.
sus. We must take it, therefore, that the
present estimates are merely estimates.
OF special interest to Tampa is the
fact that, in this report this city moves up
to second place in population in the state.
In the federal census of 1880, Tampa was
third. 1T was given then 101 ,161, as
against 1l0,637 for Miami, and 129,549
for Jacksonville. In the present estimate
Tampa is given i IL, loo, second to jackson
vile with 144,200, while Miami is third
with Ill, 900 This would indicate gain
in three years of $4,000 for Jacksonville,
$4,000 for Tampa, and less than 1000 for
Miami.
Jacksonville's estimated population
consists of $4,000 whites and 48,300a me-
groes, while Tampa's is $4,000 white and
24,2O0 negroes. So, according to these fig
ures, Tampa lacks just 5000 of the white
population of Jacksonville. e@ s'5f'',
The feature of the present population
estimate with which we are inclined to diff
fer is that which rates Hillsborough county
second to Dade. Hillsborough has led the
counties in population in all recent census
counts. This estimate puts Dade first with
184,500, Hillsborough second with 80, $780,.
Duval third with 172.900. 1t would be ex-.
tremely difficult to find $4,000 people in
Dade county outside of Miami-yet that is
the difference stated between city and
county population there. The difference
given in Hillsborough county is $4,000.
and there is easily that many people, and
more, in this county, outside the corporate
limits of Tampa.
This report makes ST. Petersbugh the
fourth city in the state with population of
$4,000, others ranking as follows: West
Palm Beach, $4,000; Orlando, $4,000; PEN
sacola, 31,8OO; Lakeland, 23,2OO; Daytona
Beach, 10000; st. Augustine, $4,000; Key
West, 1881; Tallahassee. 12,7OO;
Gainesville, $4,000; Sanford, $4,000; Fort
Lauderdale, 1850; Fort Myers, 1890;
and Sarasota, 10000. Sarasota, the re-
cords show, climbed into the 10000 class
for 1934); Clearwater, $500; Coral Ga.
bles. 9700; Winter Haven, 9400; River
junction, 5000; Miami Beach, 5000; Ocala,
$500; Lake Worth, 500; Plant City, 300;
Falatka, 100; Bradenten, 5000; DeLand,
61O0; Fort Pierce, 5000; Barlow, 500;
Panama City, $500; Leesburg, 51O0; New
Smyrna, 5000.
After Dade, Hillsborough and Duval
the leading counties are rated as follows:
Polk, $4,000; Pinellas, 1920; Palm
Beach, 66.200; Orange, 62,100; Escambia,
$4,000; Volusia, $4,000; and Alachua, 81,
600. -
The smallest county in the state in
population is Flagler, with $500, Glades
being next lowest with 5000 and Collier
and Gulf next week with 370O each. -
