missioner Upon a Recommendation
Made by Supervisor Blum for an In
crease of Pay for the City Enumer-
atorS-Of the ~ Appointments An
nounced Twelve Are NeGrOes-NEr.
Blum Explains His Policy in This
Matter.
The appointments Of census enumera-
tors for the counties Of the First congress
sional district, with the exception of Chat
ham, were made public by Supervisor
Henry Blum, Jr., yesterday. Mr.. Blum
stated that he could not give out the APP
pointments for Chatham county, for the
reason that they have been held up in
Washington. He does not attach any
importance to this however as he thinks
the Withholding of the Chatham county
appointees is due to recommendation
made by him that the pay of the city
enumerators be increased. He is of the
opinion that the director of the census
will comply with this request indirectly,
by rearranging the city districts so as to
provide for larger districts and a smaller
number of enumerators.
The appointments for the other counties
of the district are as follows:

Mr. Blum said that there are twelve
colored enunlera tors In the list. Not hav-
ing his BOOKS by him he could not dis
tinguish between the white and the col
ored. OF the sixty enunlerators recon-
mended for appointment in Cha than coun-
ty, nine are colored.
THE policy which I pursued in making
the recommendations" said Mr. Blur,
was to name white ennmerators in those
districts where the whites are in the ma
jority, and in the districts where there
are large negro populations, to name negro
enumerators. 1 did this in the endeavor
to satisfy both races. 1 understand of
course, that 1t would be Objectionable to
white citizens to have colored enunerators
calling at their homes to obtain the infor-
nation required by the census. On the
other hand, in the districts, where are
large negro popula tions, 1 believe colored
enumerators will De more successful in
obtaining the desired Information"
The enumerators whose appointments
have been confirmed win shortly receive
their commissions, together with the books
Of instructions and blank forms upon
which the census is to be taken The
work is to Begin June 1, and is to be
concluded within one month I'm the country
districts. The city enumera tors are al
