Population Up
70 Per Cent
County Shows
Astounding Growth

Macomb County, with an Of
ficially estimated population in
crease Of 1913 per cent from
April 1910 to April 1943, may
have been the fastest-groWing
area in the United States dur
ing the era of war production,
it was indicated today by the
United States Census Bureau.
The bureau, which recorded
national average growth of
population amounting to "a per
cent, revealed that the county S
1910 census population of 107,-
428 persons within three years
had jumped TO D38,9O4, an in
crease of 1913 per cent, accord
ing to an accurate analysis Of is
suance records of War Ration
Book No. 2.
APRIL ESTIMATE
Last April, on the basis of
general registration figures fur
nished by the War Price e. Ra-
ton Board, The Monitor-Leader
compiled an estimated popula-
ton increase of 325, to bring
the county's total to approx
mately $4,000. The figure was
only an estimate, for il was
pointed out that many regis
trants here were not bona -fide
county residents. Apparently
the u. S. Census Bureaus sur
vey has eliminated out-county
names from the compilation.
The county's astounding 90 3
growth, readily visible in South
Macomb, is appreciated when
compared to the national popu-
lation jump of "a. and increases
