Mr. PORTER ASKS FOR DEFICIENCY APPRo-
PRIATION OF 100000.
Washington JAN 6.-The acting secretary OF the
Treasury today sent TO Congress letter from Robert
p. Porter the Superintendent OF the Census, accom-
panied by deficiency estimate OF 81 100000 for con-
tnuing the work of the census, which appropriation
IL is asked, be made In the Urgency Deficiency BILL
The letter Of Superintendent Porter, which is dated
December 60 1901 says that the work OF the Census
once is well advanced. and that If the appropriation
asked for be made Immediately. II will be possible to
bring tho work practically to termination by the
close OF 1892, the spring OF 1893. There now re-
mains available only Sl44 ,5e2 and about 200 clerks
have been furloughed. This forced reduction. Mr..
Porter says is unfortunate, and should not DE con-
tlnued a day longer than absolutely necessary.
temporary cessation OF work would be disastrous and
even the frloughng OF clerks for any length Of time
would injurc the value Of the work. The appropn-
aions for the census thus far have aggregated Si.-
400, 200.
The superintendent adds: To drag this important
work along by Inadequate and delayed appropriations
will destroy the vitality OF the statistics, and render
useless material which II has cost the Government
millions OF dollars secure The field work OF the
Eleventh Census has yielded wealth OF material
which for accuracy and completeness Is FAR ahead
OF any previous census
