New Census Would Cost About 200 Per Person
Muscatine Aldermen consider a new federal census costing about 20 cents per resident based on an estimated population of 24,000 and a total price of roughly 4,875 dollars. The 1960 count showed 20,997 residents, and growth could affect federal funds and road taxes. Officials note higher city growth may justify reestablishing population figures to maintain share of financing.
