Yesterday was busy day at census
headquarters in the federal building.
Special Agent Wardle and his assist
ants were busily engaged until 10 o'clock
last evening. at which time 1926 emu
merators had been commissioned. The
sixteen men recommended for the posi-
ton of enumerator who have not yet
reported to Mr.. Wardle are requested
to do so this morning. Unless they do
so, other men will al once be selected to
enumerate. the districts assigned to
them. MIR. Wardle is we'll pleased with
the class of enumeratOrS. 'They are
the finest setof men ever selected in
this country to take census" This is
undoubtedly true, and the committee
having the selection of men are to be
congratulated fol. the work accom-
plished. o. 0. Cullen and Il. III. Fuller
have done the brunt of the work. and
for the last ten days have been engaged
day and night. Mr.. Wardle yesterday
furnished the commissioned enumef-.
atorS with schedules. maps OF
their districts and sall the neces-
sary information for perfecting the
taking of the recount. Any enumeration
who is suddenly taken sick is to at once
send communication to the census
headquarters, as no delay will be toll
Grated, and in such cases another man
will be appointed. Each enumeration is
also instructed to report at census
headquarters every evening during the
recount and give the total number Of
names recorded for the sday. An emu
merator neglecting to do this will be
summarily dismissed and a new man
tor
be at headquarters, and, under Mr.
Wardle's supervision, the returns for
the day will be counted. The totals
will be publicly announced and pub
lished in the daily newspapers. Mr..
Wardle yesterday communicated with
