Chicagoans Dispute Los Angeles Claim > Population Growth Refuted In Chicago CHICAGO (UPI) — Chicagoans Sprang to the defense of their City today against a claim that the Los Angeles metropolitan area has replaced it as the nation’s second largest city. : “If it’s true, they’re growing Only because Chicagoans who made their bundle in the world's most productive market are going put there to retire,” retorted Thomas H. Coulter, director of the Association of Commerce and Industry. j “I hear everyone is moving out «£ Los Angeles because of the Smog,” scpffed outspoken Aid. Charts Weber. “It sounds like another Hollywood publicity stunt to me." > “Besides, Los Angeles is the dirtiest city in the world. When you fly in there it’s like flying into a mudpen because of the smog. I know. I used to live there.” “What difference does it hjake?” The city of Chicago is far larger than the city of Los Angeles,’’ replied Ira Bach, head of the Chicago Planning Commission. i The controversy started Thursday when the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce announced the two-county Los Angeles area now has 55,000 more people than the Seven-county Chicago area. The chamber based its estimate On official population trend studies and past records of the . bureau of the census. Surveys showed some 240,000 new residents arrive in the area each year, the chamber said. It figured 6,450,000 persons now live in the Los Angeles area, compared with 6,395,00 in Chicago. Yuan Liang, a statistician for the Chicago Planning Commission, said any estimates over six million automatically incur an error of about 100,000, which would explain the difference claimed by Los Angeles. "Pm sure they are underestimating the Chicago area, because H had 6,348,00 persons in 1957, and we certainly gained more than 47,000 since then, “Liang said. No figure has been released for 1958. He said the city of Chicago, as «ts July, 1957, had 3,746,300, whereas the city of Los Angeles reported as of September, 1958, it’s population at 2,397,0. *Tm not going to argue about ft,” Coulter said. “I don’t know, and they don’t, either. We’ll have to wait until the 196 census. But I’m sure we are over 6Vz million now.” ( Coulter said metropolitan Chicago probably would include at least r two . more counties in the pext ‘.Census; Estimates made now', he said, are based on telephone ind electric meter installations, building permits and the average t&ze of families as determined by toe Bureau of the Census, he said. At best, they are only an indicai MlMMMUMMll'MtM'SdtoMtoftMi

tion, he said. “But Chicago is the richest, most productive city in the world,” he added. “People come here to work and make money, and then they go to California to retire and spend it.” “If they do,” said Weber, “they’ll be crying for the rest of their lives from the smog.” » > Trade ’in a good town — Decatur.
