CONTROL OF THE LONG ISLAND
CrNsIrS S1rPERI NTENDENT

II was reported In Republican circles last night
that Walter T. Atterbury. chairman of the Re
publican County Committee. had been appointed
Superintendent of Census for the Long Island Dis
trict. and would accept the place. although the
duties are hard and the compensation will amount
10 less than 800 Mr. Atterbury holds an Office
under the State Government as Appraiser OF Cor
noration Taxes in the Controllers Office, and his
friends say that he would never have accepted
another office while holding this one but for the
fact that the organization leaders want the patron
age which falls 10 the lot OF the superintendent
of this district skilfully distributed. There will
be about thousand places at his disposal. worth
from $50 to 800 each. this covering the ex-
pense incurred for the work Of the enumerators.
Mr. Atterbury Is expert political manipulation.
and the machine leaders think that the distribution
OF this Federal patronage can be made judiciously
under his direction.
