THE JOURNAL AND COURIER, LAFAYETTE, IND. Friday Evening, July 24, 1970 28 Early Figures Boost County To Mo. 10 in Population Iipiiiiliiiiiilip 'itf 1 Imsm I "Jj t1 The 1st and 2nd districts, in which Lake County is divided (and joined with nine other counties in the 2nd) have an average of 468,276, while the 6th and 11th, containing parts of Marion and five other counties in the 6th, average 490,395 per county. Thus the most under-represented would be the 8th, if preliminary figures prevail through the official census count. tell the exact story on congressional representation, which is one of the main reasons for the census.

However, using Calhoun's provisional total, the ideal population for an Indiana district would be 467,303. Of the seven districts composed of complete counties, the preliminary figures are: 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 463,727, and 10th, 454,871. preliminary population figure of 783,821, and Lake, with 543,162, remain the first and second largest counties but third place now goes to Allen instead of St. Joseph County. Allen climbed to 277,721 from its fourth place in 1960 with 232,196 population.

St. Joseph, in third 10 years ago with 238,614, is tentatively in fourth place in 1970 with a population of 243,248. Vanderburgh remains in 5th place with Madison, 6th, with 137,482, and Delaware, 7th, with 127,861. However 8th place under the 1970 provisional figures is held by Elkhart, with 124,688 population, while Vigo, in 8th a decade ago, has a population of 113,087 for 9th place. The preliminary figures are not refined enough as yet to ft, "Wh'j Water Main Repair Called Tedious Job XtX; Two Hurt As Car Hits Pole Two men were hurt, one hospitalized, as the result of a car striking a telephone pole in Lafayette Thursday.

City Controller William Vanderveen, acting mayor in the absence of Donald W. Blue, who is on vacation, esti- mated Friday the big main could not be repaired and 'normal pumping capacity restored until about next Wednesday.

Vanderveen said to his knowledge the damaged main has caused no discoloration of household water supplies and has created no danger of contamination. The break, nearly 20 feet underground, has limited the plant's daily pumping capacity to around eight million gallons, Vanderveen said. Fortunately, a week of cool, damp weather conditions has cut average daily consumption by the city's 13,000 domestic and industrial customers to six to seven million gallons a day. "If the weather gets hot and turns dry before the breaks are repaired, we may have to ask residents of the city to please not sprinkle lawns, fill backyard swimming pools, wash cars or use water unnecessarily," Vanderveen said. "So far we have been lucky and have not had to insist on this." Waterworks records show that on July 1, when temperature soared to a season-high 102-degree reading, waterworks customers used 12.5 million gallons.

The next day, when it reached- 102 again, the plant pumped 11.6 million gallons. On July 16, the day the broken main was first detected, 11.9 million gallons were used. City officials announced Demos Slate Candidates For Tippecanoe County moved up to 10th spot on Indiana's new population chart, according to figures released by the state's public health statistician. Robert A. Calhoun, who heads the records division of the State Board of Health, said his figures were based on the latest available preliminary figures from the recent U.S.

Census Bureau's 1970 population count. Tippecanoe County, with a new population figure of 108,259, moved past LaPorte County to 10th position. La-Porte, which was 10th in 1960 with 95,111, dropped to 11th with a 1970 figure of, 104,344. In 1960, Tippecanoe's population was 89,122. STUDENT COUNT CITED Calhoun said he felt the higher rate of gain for Tippecanoe County in the prelimi-: nary 1970 census was because the enumerators "did a better job of counting students." Tippecanoe is the home of Purdue University.

Indiana's gain of approximately 10 per cent over the last 10 years apparently will be less than the national increase in population, Calhoun said. He said a preliminary estimate indicates the national gain will be nearer 14 per cent than 10 per cent, but warned that changes are certain as the preliminary figures are replaced later with final figures. STATE 5.1 MILLION The preliminary figures show Indiana's 1970 population to be 5,140,334.

Consumption has ranged between 6.3 million and 7.6 million gallons since then. Vanderveen said an inspection of the big main after excavation showed it was fractured in two places at a T-fitting, and at a third place in a joint. The T-fitting is situated against the concrete wall of a valve housing vault and is most difficult to repair, Vanderveen said.

The process involves tearing out part of the wall, a risky task because of the chance of inflicting accidental damage to the valves within the vault. One step involved in the repairs, installation of a 24-inch cut-off valve in the line, is scheduled for Friday night, Vanderveen said. He estimated earlier in the week the repair job may cost $10,000 or more. DON'S Small Engine Clinic Factory Authorized Parts, Service NEED PARTS? TRY US! Daily 8 to 5 P.M. Saturday 8 to 12 804 N.
