is 1,055. The increase for the last year being 2,638, is considerably
more than twice the average yearly increase.
The "natural increase" of population during 1913, i.e., excess
of births over deaths, was 601. In the preceding year the
"natural increase" was 545, so that this year there is a gain in
this respect.
The estimated population at the end of each Quarter of 1913
was as follows:—
End of first quarter 87,381
