IS TOO LOW
PERSONAL MENTION. ;
Assessor's Census of City Not
Satisfactory.
RECOUNT MAY BE MADE
County's Population Said
Be 20,877, But Round
Numbers Indicate
Guess Work.
to
A matter that will be brought to
the attention of the Board of Trade
at tonight's meeting is the censu-i of
Oregon Oity, which was taken by the
county assessor, who giveB the city's
population at aaiiv. It is generally
believed that these figures do not rep
resent the true census of the city, and
it is more than probable that the
Board of Trade will seonre the ser
vices of one or two men and defray
the expenses of a new census. Lead
ing business and professional men
have announced their willingness to
contribute toward the cost of a re
count, in the interest of exploitation.
The figures given out by the asses
sor show the population 01 the county
to be 20,877. The figures are evident
ly more guesses, as in every instance
the result is a multiple of 5 or 10. and
in at least 12 preoincts the population
is given in hundreds. This estimate
cr guess shows that the population of
the county iias increased since the
government census was taken. The
figures given out by the assessor fol
low : '
