Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ottawa City Directory, 1901: Embracing an Alphabetical List of All Business Firms and Private Citizens; A Classified Business Directory; A Miscellaneous Directory Containing a Large Amount of Valuable Information, Also a Complete Street Guide to Which Is Added an Alphabetical, Stre We herewith present to our patrons the twenty-eighth volume of the Ottawa City Directory. It is customary for the publishers of city Directories to give an estimate of the population of the city based on the number of individual names contained in the book. The Government have this year taken the census of the Dominion, and although the population of Ottawa has not been made public at the time of our going to press we have no doubt it will come very close to our estimate. Our Ottawa Directory for 1891 contained 15,126 individual names and the Government census that year gave Ottawa a population of 44,154. The present volume contains 24,093 individual names, exclusive of the names of firms, corporations, etc., an increase of 1,243 names in the year, being the largest increase in any one year since 1893. Allowing the same ratio of names to population as we had in 1891 we estimate the present population of Ottawa to be 70,271. We tender our sincere thanks to those, who by their patronage and support have materially aided and encouraged us in our work.
