THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.
Facts and Figures Wanted About Rich

mond and Henrico.
Mr.. Robert J.. Porter, superintendent oil
census. Washington. has sent the munici
pal authorities here an extensive set oil
blank forms asking certain information
about the city Of Richmond and the county
of Henric0, from which estimates will Dc
adduced ami inserted in the forthcoming
census report
The papers contain lots of questions and
all the figures are desired 10 cover the years
from 1880 10 1859 inclusive.
WHAT THEY ASH,
Under the head OF "Ordinary Municipal
Revenue they ask' The amounts OF real
and personal taxes, liquor ana trade
licenses. railway and other franchises,
street. sewer and sidewalk assessments.
fines. penalties and iOrieitures. rents. net
profits Of markets and wharyes. profits on
water and other commercial enterprises, In

lie institutions and from the state, interest
on deposits. other regular sources OF Income
and total ordinary receipts.
I'm the sinking fund statement is asked
the amount Of finds az the beginning OF the
wear. including The balance on hand.
and the receipts from interest on invest
meni. investments paid on, city treasury
and other sources.
The available assets" are sub-headod
Cash i'm treasury, sinking fund, salable
land and buildings, taxes and assessments

TOO MUCH WORK.
It can De readily seen that. covering as 10
does period OF ten years, that much pains
taking clerical labor must Doe performed in
order 90 collect and enter the facts asked
for. and the city authorities are unable %
do the work, because just az this time they
are preparing their own annual reports.
So it is probable that unless the Federal
government can spare one Of its men, or
employs somebody here 10 do the job, ii Is
very probable that the eleventh census re-
ports will contain exceedingly meagre To-
ports about Richmond.
