The county population increase
1879, is almost exactly that of the
city, being slightly lower, however
This shows that the drift to the city
tendency is strong in Wayne county
as in other counties of the state whose
population has been revealed.
Wayne county's increase is second
largest among these. Henry county
increased 14.5 per cent during the
decade, from 346S2. This was caused
by the almost phenomenal growth Of
Newcastle.
Huntington county was just below
Wayne, with 93 per cent increase, tc
31,671, and Blackford county showed
the largest decrease, with II per cent
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Populatior
announcements Of the 1920 census
have been made for more than half OF
the cities of the country which in 1910
had $4,000 or more people. Some re
markable growths have been showr
during the last 10 years which will
make many changes in the rank Of
these larger cities.
Perhaps the most notable growth
thus far shown is that of the two De
troit suburbs. Hamtramck and High
land Park, ranking 1,623rd and 1,393rt
respectively in 1910. Hamtramck now
is slightly larger than WinstOn-Salen
which in this census advanced to the
position of metropolis of North Car
olina.
More than three dozen cities havins
less than $4,000 people in 1910 have
gone beyond the % 900 mark this year
while upward of a dozen have gone
into the 100000 class. There were 81
