DETROIT (AP) - Detroit pre-
%ared a challenge of U.S. Census
figures that showed it dropping be-
low the magic million mark in pop-
ulation, while other Michigan cities
put finishing touches on similar re-
ports yesterday.;
Flint said a 12.9 percent popula-
tion indicated by its preliminary
count was greatly exaggerated, and

Communities have until then to

counted, and until Sept. 30 to turn

Detroit officials already have re-

since their preliminary figures ar-
rived; "and they're coming in every
day," said Juliette Okotie-Eboh, co-
ordinating Detroit's census activities.
Preliminary figures put the city's
population at 970,156, just over half
its population peak of 1.85 million
in 1950 and down 19 percent from
1980.
Failure to regain the million

tax revenue and state and federal aid.
