The population of Calton City has changed over the years. In 1832 there were 21,000 adult males, 18,560 adult females and 12,330 children. In 1842 there was an outbreak of pneumonia which reduced the population to 37,000 in total. Only 7,000 children survived out of more than 13,000.
The census of 1854 showed a sharp rise in the birth rate, with 14,230 children now included in a population of 57,550. A second survey was carried out in 1856 and the increases were confirmed.
There were 18 people in the census team: a leader, two deputies and 15 field workers. They were very experienced, as 72% of them had spent over 12 years in this sort of work.
In 1872 the government built a large army barracks on the edge of town. 2,500 men of the 7th Cavalry occupied the barracks, together with more than 500 support personnel, of whom more than 50% were women. A further contingent of 800 infantry from the 5th Army moved into the site 7 months later.
The presence of the army brought wealth to the town, and over 1,700 civilians took up residence in the next 3 years. The police force increased by 20% to 30 officers and by 1902 the population of the town had expanded to 90,000.
A history of the town was published in 1931. This book encouraged the demands for city status which had arisen before: applications had been made in 1925 and 1929 to turn Calton Town into Calton City. The first of these campaigns had cost $10,000 and the second $17,000. This was a lot of money.
A town meeting was called, led by the mayor and 15 councilors. They agreed to spend a maximum of $25,000 to make a third application.
The townspeople applauded this decision and in less than 10 months, in 1933, city status was granted.

Mis ebooks están disponibles para la venta.
Algunas personas han tenido la amabilidad de mencionar que la
mayoría de mis historias parecen ser de niños y animales.
Esto es cierto, pero eso no quiere decir que estos libros sean sólo
para ser leídos por niños y animales. Sería un error pensar en esto
(un grave error en el último caso).
Personalmente, creo que son para cualquier persona que haya sido
un niño y quisiera mejorar su inglés. John James Carty

Verbos: En español se usa el infinitivo en muchos casos cuando se usa el gerundio en inglés. Esto es un tema difícil que no es necesario aprender de una vez. Empiece ligeramente por leer el Gerundio e Infinitivo.
