Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce Waits Report
On Territory With Interest
Census returns for the entire
county were awaited with in
terest today by the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce.
It was expected that an in
crease in population over the
1930 census figures would be
shown. There will be no defin
ite knowledge on the popula
tion, however, until figures are
released by headquarters in Eu
gene, center of the southern
Oregon census region.
A preliminary count an
nounced in Eugene last Friday
gave Medford a population of
11,548 as compared with 11,007
in 1930, an increase of 541 or
4.91 percent.
Ashland Disappointed
Ashland was said to be frank
ly disappointed with its showing
as revealed in the preliminary
count announced by Mrs. Merle
C. Stuart, census supervisor at
Eugene. The Ashland popula
tion was shown In the prelim
Inary count to be 4.617 as com
pared with 4.544 in 1930, an
increase of only 73. Ashland had
anticipated a population of
more than 5.000. The increase
was only 1.6 per cent.
Because of the migration of
e i t y residents to suburban
homes and small farms, it was
expected that the county pop
ulation would show an increase
over the 1930 figure but to
avert disappointment no one
was willing to venjure a guess
or an estimate pending release
of the actual figures from the
Eugene census office.
Suburban Mot General
The move to suburban home
sites is national and American
cities are spilling over their
municipal boundaries as the
movement grows, Newton C.
Fair of Chicago, president of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards told a regional
meeting of realtors in Portland
Saturday. Mr. Farr advocated
low-cost housing within city
limits as part of a program to
keep the migration from lower
ing mid-town property values.
