Deputy Chief Engineer Rico OF tho new

We Should Have Il Recount.

While we believe that the census,
taken as whole throughout &c country,
Is as correct as it is possible for it to he,
yet we are equally satisfied that in many
places, from various causes, it is insor-
rect. Take for instance this county. it
certainly cannot be possible that there
is an actual falling oil in our population
in the last ten years Of over LOCO souls.
We know. and 50 expressed our belief in
the last issue Of the INDEPENDENT, that
many persons having homes here we're
not enumerated because of the fact tina.
they were temporarily away
engaged at work or in business,
D. that case, so we were informed by one
; " S1Yt AZ af'yy cs I5J %Ga1 sot b
taken do xn, for ,4id he they must ac-
tualy sleep in the houses at the time the
enumeration is made Under such in
structions if it were known to tue emu
merators that it actually was the home
of the party temporarily absent his name
could not be taken. Even with this de-
feet in the manner of enumeration nc
one for a moment believes that there
has been anything like the loss in our
population as given in officially. We
learn that one gentleman has stated that
in his immediate nelghborhood he could
count over fifty persons who would have
eatirely escaped the enumerator, but fol
inform alton given by himself. We
know of others who say that they have
never been called upon at all. Our opin-
ion is that the time limited was 90 short
to take the census properly in the differ.
ent districts, and hundreds of person:
were left off in all Of them. We believe
that our citizens should ask for a recount
to correct what many believe to be q
grave error and consequently an injuri-
Gus although it may be an unintention-
al, misrepresentation of our population
growth and p prosperity.
