Show MAY LOSti A CONGRESSMAN. Possible Effect or the Eleventh Census In Connecticut. New Haven, Ct., July 2. There is a probability that the population of Connecticut Con-necticut may be shown by the eleventh census to be a little larger than in 1880, but not large enough to retain the state's present representation of four in congress. The small towns and farming villages of the state, as shown by the returns iu the first district, have generally decreased iu population during dur-ing the last ten years. The returns from nineteen-towns in New Haven, Fail-Held aud Litchlield counties, however, how-ever, show an aggregate population of 103,SW, against sa,41 iu 1880, an increase in-crease of 18.870'. Eighteen towns near New Haven in 1880 had '.'0,584 inhabitants, inhabi-tants, and according to the present census cen-sus they have 14,202, a decrease of 0422. |
