The United Co., winch Controls Deimarvin,

Tie sale Of controlling interest 10
thu Delmarvia company OF TINS city
was made, it is said, by Martin Meyer

So far as known here no change will
be made at present in tho lccal manage
ment. A principal point involved in
the matter is TO emphasize The fact
that the Delmarvia company will not
combine with the Delaware 4 Atlantic
and that two systems will continue in
this city. Another point Of Importance
is that through the combination with
the outside companies long distance
connections will eventually be secured.
The Washington Telephone and Teie-
graph CO., which was recently char
tered, will apply TO Congress for a
franchise to establish nm independent
exchange in Washington. This will
also become part OF the system being
built up by the United Company and
long.distance limo between Baltimore

The CENSUS or DELAWARE.
Supervisor willis Discusses tho Plans Nav
Unnsr Ganslceration.

Undsr Consideration.
CeususSuperviso Jonatahn S. Willis
of Milford was in Wilmington short
time Thursday and during his visit dis
cussed with a reporter OF the Gazette
is plans for taking the census of the
State next year.
lit is my purpose, he said, "to d.
vide the enumeratorships of the State
among the different parties,a as nearly as
practicable, but competency and fitness
are to be the first prerequisites in the
appointments Of enumerators,
"A tentative plan for dividing the
State into enumeration districts has
already been received by me for my
criticism, corrections and such re-
adjustments as may seem desirable, and
am now engaged in that work, and
would be glad Of the assistance Of any
man OF amy party concerning the matter.
This distriotipg will probably be com
pleted in the course Of the next two
months.
SIn February or March the enumera-
tors will be appointed and the enumera.
tion will begin on the first day of June
and must be completed by the Both of
juno. 1t is my sole object to have the
census OF Delaware as nearly correct
and complete as possible and | solicit
the aid Of tho people 10 this end.
The compensation will be on the
basis of items, whore the population
and work will justify il, but no
enumerator will receive less than So per
day, provided his work is we'll done, or
more than Sc, which will only occur in
specially difficult cases. When tho
full returns are made by the enumera-
tors their work will be supervised by
me and their accounts made mn and
sent to the director at Washington.
According to the statute, no
enumeration district can contain more
than 1000 inhabitants and many will
contain less, According 10 the tentative
plan made at the. bureau at Washing.
ton, 102 enumerators hapo been provided
for in this State. This may be
slightly increased or reduced.
There are no secrets in the enumer-
alton, except such as the law enioins
upon the enumerators. A penalty is to
be imposed upon any enuaierator who
discloses any of the items of his work
before it is published by the govern
ment. Anybody desiring further infor-
nation on the subject can obtain it by
communication, with me at Milford. I
