CITY POPULATION 16,812, TRIBUNE FIGURES REVEAL Population of Medford is now 18,812, according to figures of Gerald T. Latham, circulation manager of the Medford Mail Tribune. Latham used the 1940 city circulation of 2,751 and the 1945 circulation of 4,099 and by a method of ratio and propor tion, arrived at the population. The matter of city population came up yesterday when figures released by City School Superin tendent E. H. Hedrick's office and the city water department showed the city population to be between 14,290 arid 15,632. Latham's figures showed pop uation of the county to be 42, 318. Rural circulation of the pa per In 1940 was 2,761 and is now 4,672. All figures are based on the assumption that percentage of readers remains the same with increase of population. Mail Tribune records show a larger percentage of migratory population than In 1940, based on the number of "starts" and "stops" received for the paper. Latham said he felt the fig ures were somewhere nearly ac curate since the paper reaches houses in which more than one family reside and is delivered to homes where only couples live who would not be counted on a school census. manner.
