BIG ENROLLMENT
EARLY FIGURES
SHOW INCREASE
People Urged to Give in Names to
Census Enumerators. Near Six
Thousand is Belief
While Milledgcvillebi two census
enumerators continued their count,
early figures that have been com
piled indicate a big increase in Mil-
ledgeville’s population for the 1930
census over that of 1920.
No official statement has been re
leased and figures have been with
held but the count to date clearly
indicates that there will be more than
ic thousand names on the list than
ere was ten years ago. The 1920
nsus gave Milledgeville a popula-
>n of 4619 and it is’believed that
e figure will reach almost 6,000
> the completion of the count.
City officials issued a statement
urging people to give in their ccn-
either to Mrs. C. B. McCullnr,
is taking South of Hanenck
street or Mr. Ewell Atkin, who is
j making the count North of Hancock.
In the event it is impossible to reach
either of these people, phone your
name to Mr. R. T. Baisden the city
clerk. It is the hop* 1 of the city
that nil people will be counted.
