readers:—

Edmonton Urban District had a gross population in 1901 of
46,899, and in 1911 of 64,797, being an increase of 38.2 per cent., in
the ten years, compared with an increase of 84.8 per cent. between 1891
and 1901.
Edmonton Petty Sessional Division, with an area of 24,731 acres,
is only the third largest in Middlesex, but its population of 341,534
inhabitants is by far the largest.
Edmonton County Court Circuit (No. 38) was found to contain
1,053,256 inhabitants. It is interesting to see it recorded that 29 males
and 28 females, making a total of 57 vagrants, were enumerated in our
District as existing in movable buildings on waste or unfenced lands.
