NORTH PLATTE
RANKS FIFTH
OJfLY FOUR CITIES Uf TILE STATE
SHOW A LARGER VOVVLX
TION ACCORDING TO
CENSUS.
North Tlatto has reached tho rank
of fifth placo in Nebraska In popular
tion. Tho census of 1920 gives us
1046G whllo In 1910 wo had 4793. Omv
aha, Lincoln, Grand Island and Hast
ings exceed her. Ten years ago thero
wero thirteen cities in tho state with
a greater population than North
Platto; this year thorp aro only four.
Tho growth of 118.4 is surpassed
by but ono city and that is Scotts
bluff whoro they had 295' Increase.
Omaha shows an increaso of 54.4,
Lincoln and Hastings about 25 and
Grand Island 35. If North Platto
should keep up tho rato of growth
which sho has set for tho. past ten
years, this will bo tho third city in
tho state in 1930. Beatrlco, Fremont,
Kearnoy, Scottsbluff, York, Nebraska
City, Fairbury, Plattsmouth and Col
umbus all showed a gain In popula
tion but not enough to keep ahead or
gain on North Platte. Tho abovo fig
ures wero gathered by E. F. Seoberger
from tho dally roports of tho census
bureau as they appeared in tho press
and havo been verified from tho pub
lished compilations of tho Omaha
Chamber of Commerce publicity
bureau.
