The Increase In Inhabitants for the last year la reported as 9.81!, which would mean a growth. If steadily maintained. of almost 100,000 for fhe cur Of course auch a rate of growth has not been maintained since 1*00. According to the federal census of that year, Washington's population was 871,TIt The population reported by i IMS U SIM OS. so that

M.Mt By 1910 Washington may btexpected to gain at least 16.000 more Inhabitants and Us population to rise to about *65,000.

The check to bo sin see resulting from last fall's panic will also be felt lees In Washington than In' perhaps any other American city. Tbs national capital does not depend tor a livelihood on manufacturers or commerce, and Its workers bars steady employment assured them becanse the goTernment’a activities are being continually exteadsd. In Us physical aspect Washington has gained enormously in attractivsneas in the test sight or ten years. It la an Idas] residence city, and Its charms appeal most potently to Americans with leisure enough to enjoy them. It has become the winter home of families of wealth and refinement from all parts of tha union, and Its quiet, order nod beauty make living within Its borders constant satisfaction. It still has groat potentialities la tha way of architectural development. and-Ua material prosperity Is secured by ever-broadening activities of the groat governmental machine.
