" The completion of the city's assessment on which taxes for the year 1913 will be paid shows that the total assessment has increased" in a year by the remarkable nigure of 583,000,000, and the aggregate now stands at 5426,000,000. These figures. • are elouuebt of the city's growth. Over half of the increase was made In ward. three, which includes Yonne street, where there has' not been so much actual growth as there has 'been increase in values, caused by - the general growth of the city, and while , in some instances on Yonge and nearby streets assessments have been doubled over last year, they are, in all cases, stili far below selling values. The assessors' estimate of population is - 410,000. It is admitted, however, that assessors never get them all. so that the police census of 425,000 probably most ac- curately represents the present size of this centre. The increase in a year has been 35,000, and this' does not include an- nexations. In a decade Toronto's popula- tion has increased.; by 106 per cent, a re- cord not equalled by any other city of 400,000 population " in America. Detroit, which in that period has become the "ca- pital of, the automobile industry, had the next best record, namely 91 per cent:; but Toronto's growth has not been eon - fined to any one industry. Then comes Pittsburg with 86 per cent., Cleveland with 70 per cent., New York with 47 - per cent:, Buffalo 42 per cent, Chicago'and St. Louis 33 per cent., 1?hiladelphia,23 per cent.,and: San Francisco 22 per cent, Los Angeles is the only city of approximateiY Toronto's size that has enjoyed a, higher gate of growth. It has now about 375,000 and Inc years ago was nowhere. Toronto is now the twelfth city-, in America. These botstings as to growth and size are be- e0ming the everyday stock in trade of the average citizen's conversation, but under the circumstances a little. boasting may b' forgiven: BALL TEAM'S JCB ENDEb.
