STATE OF RHODE ISLAND AND PROV
IDENCE PLANTATIONS.
STATE CENSUS.
Bureau Of Industrial Statistics,
Census Department,

85 North Main street, Providence, X. l.
To the Citizens Of Providence:
The Census Department Is now engaged In
completing the enumeration of the Sity OF
Providence. The reports made by the enum-
orators who covered the city in June indl-
Gated so many families as absent from home
that TO have accepted the returns as nnal
would have been an act OF injustice.
The situation is one for which neither the
Department not its employees ~ responsible.
IL arises from the provision OF the Generai
statutes which requires that the census OF
the population OF the state shall De taken on
the first day Of June.
Tho ever.increasing annual fight to the
country ana shore which has developed dur
ing the last decade has made the first month
OF summer the most unsuitable time or the
year in which to take the census OF large
city Prior 20 June first many families had
left the city for their summer homes, and by
the time the majority OF the enumerators had
finished their district the departures Tor the
season were almost over
A few families were enumerated at their
summer homes; others protested against
being enumerated anywhere except In the
City of Providence, and there were doubtless
many persons who had moved outside the
State for the season.
II was apparent that in order to counteract
the unfortunate operation of the law II would
be necessary to await the return OF these
families before completing the enumeration
since the last week OF September special
agents Of the Department have been visiting
all residences previously returned as "unoc.
cupied" or "famiy absent for the sum
ana several hundred names have already been
added TO the first returns.
Ii may be that even after this precautionary
measure some persons may be omitted, out
such possibility will be lessened II all per
sons who were residents of the city on June
first and who have been hitherto overlooked
by the enumerator Will kindly send their
names and address, TO State Census Office, 80
North Main street, City.
The enumeration Of tle population Is the
i5ost valuable portion Of the census work, for
IL reveals the social industrial and political
condition of the people. It's value is proper
tionate to its accuracy, and il is with view
10 make the present census perfect as DOS
sible that the Department Is now making this
extra effort In regard 70 the City OF Provi'
dence: an effort which is not required by n
strict construction OF the law under which
the census is taken. The task Will be easier
and the result more satisfactory II the resi-
dents OF Providence who have not been enum-
Grated will kindly cooperate with the Depart
ment. as before Indicated.
