CENSUS LISTING
!. AREA FIGURES

Adopting a new method of
announcing metropolitan area"
figures for the larger cities, the
Census Bureau today began to
mail out revised population fig
ures for places of 100000 or more
inhabitants.
These figures are to be cleared
through the chambers of COM
merce Of the various cities, and
as prepared by the Census Blu
reau they include both "city"
and outside city" data. This
is expected to take care of the
civic pride of cities who have
insisted that their suburbs be in
cluded in the population totals.
Census Director William M.
Steuart will write the chambers
Of commerce, saying:
"YOu are at liberty to give
out these figures to the local
press If you wish. If you de-
eide to do so please let me
know"
The director said that no metro
politan area figures for the Capt.
tai are available at present and
explained:
Later, when all metropolitan
districts have been established,
the Census Bureau will publish
q report, with maps and tables,
giving population in detail for
all districts throughout the
country"
The director said that the
chambers of commerce of numer-
Gus localities had co-operated with
the bureau in supplying data and
he wished, in return. to give such
civic organizations the privilege Of
announcing the newest figures.
