Census Revision Places
Florida aIncreaseHigher
LATE FIGURES REVEAL 2S6 PERCENT MORE
POPULATION THAN 1880
Especial to The CitIxen)

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 30
Revised Census figures have
brought about two important
changes within the State, accord
ing to a study of census figures
just released by George G. Gross,
Executive Secretary of the Flor
ida State Planning Board.
Additional figures now place
Clearwater in the group of cities
having a population of more than
10000; and Marion County now
has a total of 31.193; thus show
ing a gain of $50 rather than a
loss of 15ft as was indicated in
the preliminary census figures.
Also 50 of the counties now show
an increase in population while
but Is are credited with de-
crease.
Florida received nationwide
publicity in the release of the
preliminary figures which showed
that the State had a 27.9cs in
crease in population. The latest
figures given for Florida credit
the State with an increase of
28-6H- Florida easily led all of
the Southern States in the per-
centage of increase. North Caro-
lima with 12.4ft was the next in
rank among the Southern States,
and Louisiana was third with
121R. North Carolina shows
the largest actual population
3,563,174 Georgia ranks second
with 3,119,953 and Tennessee
third with 2,91O,992.
jacksonville, Miami, and Tam
pa are the only three cities in the
State with over 100000 popula-
ton. with 174.336, 17O,077, and
107, ,674 respectively. ST. Peters
burg with 50, ,17S is the only city
having a population between so
and 100000; Pensacola, Orlando,
