COUNTY'S POPULATION CAIN
is 1885 FOR half CENTURY

Ottawa county's official popula-
ton is 29,469 according to the
final tabulation figures released by
the Census Bureau this week. This
is a gain of 5,109 between the
1910 census and the 1850 tabula-
ton. In 1900 the county popula-
ton was 22,213 thus there has
been a gain of 1885 during the
past so years, or an average of
1852 per year.
A breakdown of the county's
increase in population shows that
in the first decade of the twen-
tieth century, there was gain of
lat, but in the following ten
years, from 1910 to 1920, the
population declined by 167 per-
sons. This, however, was the only
minus census report.
At the close of World War IL
the population had increased 1915,
and then from 1880 to 1910 the
increase was slight, being only
Isl.
War II, with the installation of
Erie Gardens, brought the big
gest advance of the half century.
Last years census showed that
the county's population had gained
5,109 since 1910.

YOUNG vANDALS
s 7 REV D j N P
" IT H CL A s s

Systematic vandalism was the
order of the day for score of
unidentified boys who deliberate
ly smashed thousands of bottles
and other glass objects on the
lakefront east of the city dump,
late Tuesday afternoon.
Mayor Carl Becker, deploring
the youths activities, due to the
fact that the city had just COM
pleted cleaning up the lakefront,
at considerable expense, estimated
that from 1000 to 1000 bottles
were smashed. The glass had
been dumped by county trucks
the day before.
Becker said broken glass cover
ed an area of about 80 by 100 feet,
extending from Adams to Fulton
Streets.
The mayor and police officials
have issued warnings to all chill
dren to stay away from the dump
area. 1t is estimated that it will
require two full working days by
city crews to clean up the debris
left by the gang of young mischief
makers.

Relocation Of
School Drive Asked

At a brief meeting OF the Oak
Harbor council, village officials
gave the Board of Education per-
mission to relocate the entrance
driveway to the Oak Harbor school.
Due to construction of an addi.
tion, school buses cannot now
reach the present entrance. The
relocated driveway will be on
village property, therefore per-
mission had to be obtained from
the village for the new driveway.
Also at Tuesdays meeting of
council, considerable discussion
was given to the need for more
room in which to store village
equipment in community hall.
Plans are being studied relative
to removal of parts of the build
ing to permit use of a second
story for storage.
