heretofore pursued OF making prelimi-
nary or rough count. based on a hurried
computation of names on the population

purpose OF the officials of the Bureau to
give out figures of cities or States pre-

through the medium OF the Hoilerith tabu-

sity fer adjusting discrepancies in the
rough or preliminary count arrived at in
