First Totals of
County Census
Expected Friday
Last of Jackson
Books Are Mailed
The last of the census
books enumerating residents
of Jackson county have been
mailed to district headquar
ters in Eugene.
Harold Sander, crew leader
for the western half of the
county, said the census takers
in his district completed their
calls Wednesday night. Preli
minary totals are expected to
morrow from district head
quarters in Eugene.
Total population figures for
rural Jackson county are ex
pected to be considerably
higher than the earlier esti
mates of the bureau of census,
although the preliminary cen
sus count fixed Medford's
present population below the
estimate.
The bureau's early 1960
estimate for Jackson county
was in excess of 71,000.
Thomas A. Redlingshafcr, act
ing district director, Eugene,
today declined to give speci
fic estimates of increase, but
said figures so far indicate
"many more" persons now re
side in the county.
Preliminary Totals
Redlingshafer reported that
Josephine county's prelimi
nary total is 29,650 residents,
compared with the bureau's
last estimate of 26,433.
Grants Pass now has 10,001
residents, less than the esti
mate, according to prelimi
nary census reports.
Grants Pass had a popula
tion of 8.116 in 1950 and
9,900 in 1958.
Residents in this area who
were missed during the census
may still become a part of the
1960 population rolls by mail
ing in "Were You Counted?
forms. The form was pub
lished in an earlier issue of
the Mail Tribune, and will be
republished tomorrow.
Important Factor
Don McNeil, manager of the
Medford Chamber of Com
merce, said "an-acci-rate popu
lation picture for both Med
ford and Jackson county, will
be an important factor in our
continued economic develop
ment." -Federal
and state fund al
lotments are often re-apportioned
to governmental sub
divisions on a population ba
sis. The count is also import
ant in contacting Industrial
firms for plant relocation,
and in developing growth
trend data for marketing
studies.
Persons who were not
counted should mail "Were
You Counted?" forms to the
bureau of census, Lane county
courthouse, Eugene,
County, State to
