Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 September 1911 — Population Center Officially Is Fixed. [ARTICLE]

Population Center Officially Is Fixed.

1 Brown county, Indiana, is sore | distressed. In July the Census! Iturceu announced the center of population within her boundaries' and designated the exact spot,' whereupon Brown county people named a day for celebration and erected a monument. A few j weeks later the Census Bureau discovered an error in multiplication which shifted the center; eight miles further west, to a point within the corporate limits of Bloomington, Monroe county, Indiana. This leaves Brown 1 county with a useless monument: on her hands, and only a mem-' ory of having entertained the* center of population for a brief fortnight.
