| Real property | $546,620 |
| Personal | 66,080 |
| Income | 14,500 |
| Total | 627,189 |
Being an increase of $10, 563 over 1894.
Population, 1895, 1931; 1894, 1866 increase, 65.

No. of children between 5 and 16 years, 445; number between 7 and 13 (school age), 257.
The west side of the canal has 17 the most population; the west side has $45,873 the largest assessment. “A poor man for children,” &c.
Total births in 1894 were 27; deaths, 8. Of the births 21 were on the west side and only 6 on the east side. In the previous year there were 20 births on the west side and only 13 on the east side. What’s the matter with the east side? No wonder the west side is pulling ahead in population.
Fourteen different kinds of religion are reported. The numbers belonging to the four principal churches are as follows:-Methodist, 672, Episcopalian, 424; Presbyterian, 275; Roman Catholic, 216.
