BEGINS TO-DAY
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED BY SU-
PERvISOR CLIFFORD.
Among the Enumerators Are Seven
Women-DafIy Reports to BE
Made-Outline of the Work.

The work of taking the twelfth annual
census will begin all over the country to-
day. Yesterday there were busy times at
the office of Vincent G.. Clifford, supervisor
of the census for this district. All arrange
ments are completed for the work and Mr..
Clifford thinks ii can be finished within
two weeks. Including office clerks. special
agents, ETC., 225 people will have charge of
the work in this district.
In this city six women will assist in talk
ing the census and in the country one
woman has been engaged. The city has
been divided into three districts, and each
district will be in charge of what is known
as a supervisors special agent. The special
agents selected are Charles r. Jones. Will
liam Z. Foster and Robert Benedict. These
agents will make their headquarters at the
supervisors office, but will go out in the
districts whenever their presence is re-
quired. At a certain hour each day they
will be at some telephone station in the
district, where they can talk TO the censu
takers about matters that may require at
tention.
Daily reports will be made TO Supervisor
Clifford and to the department at Washing
ton of the number of James AIKEN. These
reports will be made on postal cards. Cen
sus takers will fill them out each evening
and will mail one TO the supervisor of the
district and the other to the chief of the
department at Washington. These cards
will only contain a report of the number
of names taken during the day. This is
lone in order that those in charge of the
work may know what is going on. "If a
man reports to me that he had handled
visor Clifford yesterday, II would know
that he was padding his work and was
making a false statement in order TO in
crease his pay. Two hundred names a day
would be entirely too many for one man
to look after, considering the sort of record
that has TO be kept. / judge that from
one hundred to lbs names will be about the
size of a good days work. OF course. this
will be in addition 70 the death statistics
and some other matters that the census
takers have TO look after as they go along
Supervisor Clifford has arranged 10 have
all the census takers employed under him
bring in their lists tomorrow night at the
close of their second days work. In addi-
ton to the postal-card report this will be
the only report made until the work is COM
pleted. The purpose in having the lists
brought in tomorrow evening is to permit
the supervisor to look over them and see
hat the work has been properly started.
Census takers are liable 10. a fine and pun
ishment for padding" their work. Super
visor Clifford estimates that the cost of
taking the census in this city alone will be
fled that there never was a census taken
where the government took so much pains
in qualifying men for the work as in the
present one.

Commissioners Hyde Thought They
Were Too High.

During the meeting of the Board Of
Safety, yesterday afternoon, on the fire
department improvement question, bids
were opened by the board for the painting
of several rooms at the police station. The
amounts seemed to be satisfactory to
Chairman Roth, but Commissioner Hyde
peeped over the top Of his glasses and be-
came obstreperous. Mr.. Roth said the bids
were a great deal lower than the lot re-
ceived some time ago for the same work.
whereupon Mr.. Hyde claimed he had never
heard of any other bids. He said he had
only been absent from two board meetings
since he became a member. and thought Ii
was strange that every time anything came
up which he was not cognizant of the 9TH
er members of the board would claim he
was absent when the matter first came up.
Mr.. Hyde would not stand for any jok-
ing and insisted on the bids being laid
aside for the present.
