The new national from 1930 census tally brush strokes to- day showed more than half the ap- proximately 800 cities of more than 10,000 population complete. | ‘The shifting panorama of population | began to take form and color.

Competition continued keen in the exclusive 100,000 class, to which all these cities belong. ©@nly 68 cities were eligible for admission in 1920, and but six have been added thus far in the census returns, San Diego, San Juan, Porto Rico; Knoxville, Tenn.; South Bend, Ind.; Somerville, Mass., and El Paso, Tex. From Chicago came suggestion of the successive splashes cities of more than a million will make. With tentative report of more than 3,350,000 popula- tion, Chicago was an outstanding ex- ception to the fairly well established fact that the trend of growth in the larger cities was smaller than 10 years ago. Chicago's prophesied 648,000 in- crease would be the largest gain for a 10-year period in the city’s history. New York predicted complete returns by the last of the week. Nicely Balanced in 1920. In 1920, San Francisco and her Eastern rival, Buffalo, were nicely bal- anced, the former, 506,676; the latter, 506,775. ‘The 1930 census count was San PFrancisco, 621,762; Buffalo, 672,217, - San Diego, flashing into the hundred thousand list on a 88.4 per cent in- crease, passed 14 of those cities thus far reported, the closest contenders to her 147,897 mark being Nashville, Scranton, Yonkers and Norfolk.
