CENSUS BY THE POLICE
TO MAKE CAREFUL COUNT OF
PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT.
Work VIII Be Inaugurated Tomorrow
Instructions by Superintendent
Who Are Residents.

Between forty and fifty policemen will to-
morrow inaugurate the work of taking the
annual census of the District It is the in
tentfon of Major Sylvester to proceed In a
manner different from the plan followed
last year. when the census was taken by
sides of the streets This year 1t is to be
taken by blocks. When an enumerator fin
ishes the work of visiting the houses on the
-FOUR sides of the square he then goes into
the alleys and ascertains the number OF
residents. 1t is thought by the police that
the work can be more accurately conducted
this year than formerly. The count last
year showed a total population Of 323, 123-
227 .42S white and 95,605 colored. In order
to accurately learn the number OF inhabit
ants of the District of Columbia the super
fntendent of police states to the members
of the force that there must De uniformity
among those engaged In the work. His In
structons to the enumerators are to be
given them this afternoon, and. as already
stated. the work Is to begin tomorrow. The
Heutenants are directed to divide their pre-
c1nctS into two or more enumeration dis
trfcts and each member is to be provided
with a small map of his district.
Instructions are given the enumerators
of the manner in which they are to ascer-
tain the population of their respective dis
tricts The result of their work is to show
the total population and the enumerators
are to be careful to give the exact number
of children between the ages of seven and
fifteen years who were not attending school
the 22d of this month.
In the County.
The suburban or county portion of each
precinct is to be divided into enumeration
districts. preferably by subdivisions, VIII
lagos or settlements.
The populations of all roads outside of
subdivisions or villages will be shown.
In tallying the number of children not at
tending school the enumerators will note in
brief what is found to be the general ex-
cuse for non attendance
All Chinese, Indians, prisoners. deaf and
dumb, blind, insane and inmates of insti-
buttons are to be enumerated just as others
are, but statement will be given at the
same time that they are such.
Those persons who habitually sleep in the
District; those whose regular business Is In
the District. though they may sleep out
side be absent temporarily; those who
reside in the District, though without Dusi-
ness; those who may be absent temporar-
lily from the District, and those who reside
here but who spend their summers else
where are to be considered permanent resi-
dents.
Major Sylvester hopes the work will be
completed within a week, but 1t may be
about two weeks before the task Is fin
lshed. During the time the census is being
taken the number of policemen On street
duty will be decreased, and for that reason
Major Sylvester Is anxious to have 1t com
pleted quickly as possible.
