The census of Redlands, herein contained, was commenced February 10 |
|||||
|
and completed May 1, of the present year. The month of April was |
|||||
|
devoted to the compliation of facts unsecured before that time, in |
|||||
|
regard to the number of trees planted out in the city. In the enumeration |
|||||
|
of the inhabitants the greatest care was exercised in the elimination of |
|||||
|
tourists and temporary residents. The figures given below are for |
|||||
|
Redlands' actual, permanent population. No person was listed who did |
|||||
|
not have a lodging within the city's boundaries. The results is as follows: |

In common with others, the writer has committed the error of giving the |
|||||
|
population of Redlands as 1,982, according to the United States |
|||||
|
Census of 1890. "Redlands township" is credited with that number, but |
|||||
|
"Redlands, town" with 1,904. On the basis of the last figures, the |
|||||
|
percentage of increase in seven years has been a fraction over 106.7 |
|||||
|
per cent. Considering that the city's growth has been wholly due to its |
|||||
|
value as a fruit producer and residence locality, the increase is |
|||||
|
certainly remarkable. |
