GATHERING CENSUS FIGURES.
Relating to Public Revenues and Ex-
penditures.

William J. BarrOWs, representing the
United States census office. is in the
city on official business. Mr.. Barrows
is connected with the irrigation section
of the census but he is now more
especially on detail for the gathering
OF figures regarding public revenues
and expenditures. His field covers the
territories OF New Mexico and Arizona.
The object of the census office is to ac-
quire new Information regarding the
sources of the revenues of the states
and territories. the counties and the
towns. The inquiry will also embrace
the expenditures of all moneys. All this
has never before been included in the
researches of the census office which is
yearly extending its scope.
Mr. Barrows finds it difficult 10 get at
the facts ard figures desired by him.
He has so far found only ore county
which has ever published a statement
covering the matter he is hunting for.
and that is this county. The statement
issued by Clerk Osborn of the board Of
supervisors last spring contains exactly
the information desired by the Office.
II is true that the informal ton sought
may be obtained by an examination of
the books % city and county officials.
but the getting of il would be tedious
process.
While he is here Mr.. BarrOws will
look into another matter which belongs
to his own department. The census
Office also wants 10 find cut just how
many acres of irrigated land there are
in the United States. The number Of
acres in the Salt River valley has al
ready been furnished the department.
but it has been found that the number
is not quite correct.
1t was made up of statements furnish
ed by the various canals, but it happens
that many tracts of land lie under two
canals. so that the total number re-
turned 10 the office is greater than the
real number.
