pared for the Mass Transports
ton Survey of the area which is

The estimates of future popu-

assumptions. One of the mos
important is that the area will
attract industries in increasing
numbers.
The present level of Industrial
ization is put at Is per cent oil
the level the areas mass market
will support. The projections OF
population adopted by the coun-
Gil are based on a so per cent

level should reach 100 per cent
the population would be 2.85
million in 1865 and 40 million in
1880.
The councils report lists seven
factors as fundamentally respon-
sible for the areas growth. The
first. of course, is the Federal
Government with its civilian and
military employment.
The others are the convention
and tourist business. the special
professional services and organ
