punchers are at woi&.qcounting the names
on the 1O2IS portfolios. which have al
ready been received -Fhis is a little over
oEe-hfth of the schiflfites yet to come, and
they are arriving dtsn day by the hun
dreds. 1t is expected by the LIST of August
every one of the -, CSs will be in hand. The
reason for the delay is the distance from
Washington of many efSthe supervisors.
But as it is the delay Is not at all en-
barrassng. 1t was at5snged by Director
MeI Ram to handle the returns as fast as
they arrived and there are already enough
schedules on hand to keep the large force
busy, so that the schedules which arrive
late will not embarrass the Office in the
slightest degree. Already S.sl2 portfoiloS
have been examined and counted.
This work is all done in The population
division under the direct supervision OF
Chief Hunt, who has f:sI3 clerks already
