r 1o PRESIDENT POINCARE TALKS OF FUTURE | ¢ Paris, Dec. 31.—President Poincare has given an interview to Maurice De Waleffe of I/Amecrica Latina, in which the French executive discuss- es his plans following his approach- ing retirement from the presidency, reviews some of the notable events of his career, and refers to the prospect of a visit to South America at no dis- tant day. Asked if he intended ‘to retire to private life, President Poincare said: “Certainly not, for I do not think I have arrived at the point of inactiv- ity. I will resume my place as & pri- vate citizen, but I will keep up my public interests and my opinions. The constitution has in no sense fofe- seen that an ex-president should be condemned to obscurity or should merely preside at meetings of charit- able institutions. NORWICH TOWN Fev. Charles H.

Would it not be a good thing if the Cconstitution provided a council of elder statesmen, as in Jap- an, or some special portfolios of min- isters of state, as in Belgium.” ’ Asked what he would do pending an election to the senate or elsewhere, the president said: the reviews or for the newspapers.; T must earn my living, for the Elysee Palace is not calculated to make one rich. At least I have never considered It so. With the tax upon the income which applies to the compensation of the president, and with the new cost of living, I doubt whether my suc- cessor will be able to do much better than myself.” s USQUEPAUGH A.

How many more have been of to his years? s probable census showing run from an optimistic 40,000 to the pessimistic prediction of scarcely any gain. Is there any line of comparison with past years that will offer a basis for fig- uring the probability of the Norwich census figures? More houses built to live in mean more people to live in them. As hous- es in a town increase-the population should show a growth. How does this work out for Norwich? Back in 1864, according to the grand list of the town of Norwich there were 1,727 dwelling houses, but there are no J.

That year there were 2,846 dwelling houses. With these two for a starting potnt, 2,846 houses and 21,143 peocple, statistics carry along to the census of 1890 when there were 3,193 dwellings and 23,048 population. 347 houses there was a population gain the On a gain of had grown to 24,637, a gain of 1,589, and.the number of dwellings to 3,760, a gain of 567, Each new residence in that period apparently added less thdn three persons -to thé population. The next ten year period ‘avas ‘the. best gainer in population ‘for the town grew ;by: 3,582 people’ from. 1900 to 1910 but the dwellings did not increase as fast as they had‘in the preceding decade. There were 468 new resi- dences, according to the grand list, in- dicating from*7 to 8 people added in population for each new house. . The 1910 census gave: Norwich a popula- tion of 28,219 and the grand list gave It 4,228 dweliings which is: a. little less than seven people- to a house. - In the grand list of 1918, the last one| which has beén completed, the town of Norwich was shown to have 4,429 houses.

This is the increase in recént years of dwelling houses. containing more than one family and consequently housing more people’ under one: roof than a single-family house.
