The director of the census will fix the conlpen- sation to be allowed eBunlerators within the limits fixed by act of congress of not less than nor moro than cents for each living inhabitant and for each death re- ported; not less than b nor more than % cents for each farm, and not less than % and not more than 30 cents for each estab- lishment of productive industry reported The director has not yet fixed a definite rate for the Birmingham district. All ap- plications for appointment as enumerator should be filed with the supervisor, but should be withheld until next winter after the enumeration districts have been set apart, and after the plans for taking the census have been arranged.

The enumeration will begin on the first day of June, 1900, and must be finished in towns or cities of more than 5000 inhabitants within two weeks; in the other distlicls within thirty days.
