Edwards Says 5-Year Gain of 28,000 Needed to Pass 500,000. The census count of Washington, which has evoked criticism in some quarters, recelved a kind word today from Lieut. Lionel H Edwards, person- nel officer of the Police Department, who directed the work of the police cen- sus of 1925. That census showed that the population was 472,062. The of- ficlal 1930 count, announced Saturday, showed 485716. The police census, taken in every year ending with a “5,” always shows a slightly higher figure than would be expec from the Cen- sus Bureau counts, he says. The pre- vious Census Bureau enumeration in 1920 showed 437,571 inhabitants. In other words the town in the five years grew by 34,481. In order to have step- over 500,000 the town would have compelled to show an increase in the five years of about 28,000 in- habitants. Church Gufld Arn_n;n Supper.
