therefore, 1,674 persons, which is equal to an increase of 1.89 per
cent.
The gain during the preceding twelve months 1912-1913 was

increase in the population has been a very fluctuating one.
The enumerated population at the date of the last census,
April 1st, 1911, was 84,592, and the gain in the 3¼ years from
the date of the Census to June 30th, 1914, has been 5,242.
