Population Increase Revealed
In Counts Taken for 92 Cities
Special population counts taken
for 92 Oregon cities over the
past three years have revealed
a 87.29 per cent increase in res
idents since 1940, Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry has an
nounced.
Combined population of these
cities, each less than 2,000 accord
ing to the last federal census, is
now listed at 88,231, compared to
64,264 in 1940.
The new figures are used as
the basis for apportioning reve-
ifties payable to cities and counties
under the Oregon liquor control
act and from state highway funds,
Newbry explained. Any incorpor
ated city having a population of
less than 2,000 may request a
special census to be taken by the
office of the secretary of state,
under a law passed by the 1945
session of the Oregon legislature.
Added to the ranks of Oregon
cities in the 2,000 and above pop
ulation class
were Redmond,
Gresham,
Oswego, Milwaukie,
Woodburn, Hermiston, Sweet
Home, West Salem, and Nyssa.
