rectionjo
-

Today it stands upon the threshold of a new era of development and no one to pass through its pros-, perous looking, well kept thoroughfares, to visit its 'busy factories and up-to-date stores and to look upon the new buildings in course of construction could fail . to be impressed with the fact that "We are Building a City Here.".

POPULATION OF 102,775
Increase over Last Edition, 2,898.
The Commercial Club estimates the population at 90,000 within the city limits
proper. The directory canvass has never been confined to the actual geographi- cal limits of the City but embraces such adjoining territory as may be for all practical purposes considered a portion of the City itself. The higher estate based upon the directory canvass is thus accounted for and is unquestionably correct for the territory embraced.

In the case of the numbered streets, all north of Vine are designated as Ist, 2d, 4th, etc., and south of Vine, w so 1st, w sp 2d, w so 3d, etc. Streets cast of the Des Moines River which run through to the west side of and beyond the river are designated as e Vine, Court av .. e Walnut, e Locust, etc., the numbered streets north of Vine as c Ist, c 2d, e 3d, e 4th, etc., and south of Vine as e po Ist, e so 2d, e so 3d, etc. Streets on either side of the Des Moines river which do not run through from west to cast Des Moines, are designated by their names without any prefix; for example: Maple, Buchanan, School, University, etc. If located south of the Raccoon river, the name of the street is followed by (S|D M) ; if north of the Des Moines river ( Highland Park).
