HOUSES FOUND VACANT.
The number of buildings found vacant, of various kinds, were 112; their locations are filed in the Directory office. All will be filled at the approach of winter, there is no doubt.
NEW BUILDINGS IN COURSE OF COMPLETION.
The number of new buildings unfinished, as noted by us, were thirty, but by no means do we claim this to be any where near all.

JESSE HOYT.
This gentleman, who resides in New York, is one of East Saginaw's most wealthy and active business men, although seldom here in person, is represented here by Mr. W. J. Bar- tow, his agent. Mr. Hoyt has been identified with East Sag-

inaw for many years, and known as its principal founder, as the following shows: He owns the Bancroft House and nearly the whole block (19) upon which it stands, all facing Genesee street, and the greater portion on Washington. A saw mill on South Water, near foot of German street, which gives employment to about thirty men. Another saw- mill in the northern part of this city, employs about forty men, adjoining to which is a planing mill with some twenty- five men employed. Also, very largely interested in the East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing Company, the original Company. Here are fifty men. Also, the May Flower Flour Mills, with fifteen or twenty men, an extensive barrel factory adjoining. Is largely interested in the East Saginaw City Railway line, and the Flint and Pere Marquette Railway. Owns the North- east corner of Genesee and Washington streets, some time since burned out, and is being replaced with a stone and iron front, one of the most substantial blocks to be found here, as also an ornament to the city. He is also the owner of a large number of unoccupied city lots, and from sixty to sixty-five thousand acres of pine lands north and west of Saginaw County, and a number of blacksmith shops, carpenter, and other work-shops.
POPULATION.
East Saginaw has a population according to our taking of the census in August, 1873, of 14,101. One can ascertain this by adding up the individual names appearing in this Directory, and the number in each family set at the end of each address ; those without this figure count as one ; omit firm names.
271
EAST SAGINAW DIRECTORY.
We also have another way of giving the population, as follows: The number of names in the East Saginaw Direc- tory under A, 163 ; B, 590 ; C, 376 ; D, 321 ; E, 136 ; F, 247; G, 348 ; H, 510; I, 19 ; J, 150; K, 274 ; L, 317; M, 727 ; N, 112; 0, 126; P, 242; Q, 19; R, 313; S, 680; T, 183; U, 7; V, 60; W, 420 ; X, 0; Y, 35; Z,21. Total 6,396 names, if multiplied by 2 gives us 12,792 inhabitants, if multiplied by 2% gives us 15,990, by 3 gives 19,188.
We believe the figures 14,101, actual count, may be relied upon as very accurate, although the New York Directory multiplies the number of names in the Directory by five to get their population ; but this would seem too large. How- ever, we give the above for what it is worth.
BRIDGES.
The Bristol-Street Bridge, leading from Saginaw City to East Saginaw, of Brown's patent, was built in 1864, under a lease for thirty years. Its length from shore to shore is about 1,600 feet. The bridge stands on two main piers, and the two swings on two more, with approaches upon piles. One of the swings is about 100 feet, the other 197 feet long, each of which admits of any vessel which navigates the Saginaw river in passing on either side of the swing. The rates of toll are the same as over the Genesee-street bridge, at East Saginaw. Officers are, Henry Day of New York, Pres .; Julius K. Rose, Sec'y and Treas .; A. L. Vaughan and A. W. Tyler, tenders.

ANOTHER ONE,
known as the upper bridge, crossing the river from Saginaw City to East Saginaw, late Salina, is' another very long one. Toll the same. Officers we have not learned.
ONE IN PROSPECT
at East Saginaw. Vigorous efforts are being made to put a bridge across the river at Johnson street. A meeting has been held for accomplishing this purpose since the above was printed.
