WASHINGToN-The census enumerators
have met with but little trouble in obtaining

s 600; others at 800; another at g. COO and the
fourth ventures $500. These figures represent
the guess of each enumerator on the popula-
ton of the four wards, leaving out, of course
the suburbs, which represent at least 4 900 peo-
pie. The guesses of the enumerators cannot
be verified because their work is not half done,
