William Soong, appearing.
for West O.Tx`d' Township,
quarrelled with Bir. Culham's'
forecasts and caleulatmns, t
one Point, the consultant ad-
mitted he haul miscalculated in
figuring the towns grow'Lh be-
tween 1957 and 191. Instead
-
of the all per cone set out in
his report, lie agreed it was
only 6.53 per cent. During
that. period, Ingersoll's pops
lation rose from 6,85E to 7,300.
Mr. Young also produced pep-
ula.tion forecasts worked outon
other bases, using figures for
the town ranging back tol946,
and said that these indicated a
Population, increase In the nest
15 years to between 8,000 and
9,000, net to 13,500 as suggested
by the consultant. He noted, -
too, .that a consulting firm in a
report to the taw" last year
forecast the population wouldl.
trot Pass 9,000 before 1980.
The consultant said that In-
gersoll has been dormant for a
long time, and that these earli.
er figures have nothing to do
with calculations for the future.
,Be added that facilitiesfor
growth have been lacking, bu0
should be remedied by the ad-
dition of good industrial sites.
