Anaconda Census Estimate Questioned by Local News
Anaconda residents challenge the Census Bureau estimate of 1910 population as 10,662 noting post office receipts rising from 24,318.84 in 1916 to 46,301.13, and postal savings reaching 135,000. They argue voting, schooling, taxes, transit, and utilities growth contradict the census figure and cast doubt on the bureau’s current statistics.
