Bigger, Bigger, Bigger and Bigger

Three official census Los Angeles, 4,151,687 586,223 for the State of almost staggering proof figures-1,970,358 for the city oi for Los Angeles Countr- and 10,California-form another startling, of the permanent trend of popuIat10n. nfcive over, Californians : More are coming-irom Karrl<al<ec ancl Keokuk, from Philadelphia and Manhattan.

The city of Los Angeles now has far more residents than the entire State had (1,485,053) in 1900. Los Angeles County has more than the whole State had (3,426.861) it 1920. And California as a whole does nothing but get bigger, bigger, bigger.

California is 28 times as big as it 'ivas when the first census was taken in this State. In the last decade it led the nation in botli the rate and amount of increase. The State jumped 53% from its 6,907,387 of 1940 to its 10.586,223 in 1950.

The city of Los Angeles has mushroomed from 1610 in lB50 to 4385 ir\ 7860,5728 in 1870, 11,183 in 1880,50,395 in 1890. 102,479 in 19@, 319,198 in 1910, 576,573 in 1920, 1,238,048 in 1930 and 1,5M,277 in 1940 to today's bulging 1,970,358.

It has passed Detroit to become the nation's fourth largest city and is neck and neck with Philadephia for thirrl 1>osition. Any day it may pass Philadelphia because the censrls figures are for April 1, 1950, and the Chamber of Commerce estimates Los Angeles' mid-1951 population at 2,020.086. Philadelphia had 2,064,794 in the 1950 census.

Los Angeles and San Francisco long ago ended their intrarnural population race. The Bay City now has an official 775,357. In Southern California the bigg,:st runners-up are San Diego, with 334,387, and Long Beach. with a spanking 250,7(17. What a change from the days of Cabrillo centuries ago or the Willmore City of recent times !

No doubt u'ar industries in the 1940-50 decade helped. But those r.vartime visitors could have easily returned tr-r their homes.

With most, though, it's the same old story. Thev come here as servicemen during a \'var or as tourists during a boom like that of the 80s or the 20s. They see Southern Califomia, they like it, they go home, bring their families and tell their neighbors. Their neighbors come out. go home. bring their families and tell more neighbors.

Clinlate is the big selling point. But there are others. lirLr-ms with plenty of irrigation lvater. No dust storn-rs. ()ror,ving industries. Trvo cars in almost every garage. And paved high'n,ays to a fairyland of mountains, beaches ancl clesert resorts !
