WASHINGTON, ID. c, sept. 13---Ap-
proximately $1,000 enumerators win be
needed for the thirteenth decennial
census of the United States, Hawaii
and Porto Rico, as shown by a report
just submitted to the Director OF the
Census by Geographer George S.
Sloane, of the Census Bureau, in
whose division the numerators' dis
tricts are defined and fixed. This is
an increase Of 11,000 over the number
employed in the census. of 1900.
Director Durand points out that the
per diem enumerators in 1900 we're re-
quired TO work 10 hours a day, but
in the act providing for the thirteenth
and subsequent decennial censuses, the
time is fixed at eight hours a day This
reduction in the daily hours will re-
quire an additional number of enumer-
ators in the portions of the country
in which per diem rates will prevail
The present census law requires that
the Enumeration of population shall be
taken as Of April is, 1910, and the
enumerators must forward their re-
turns to the supervisors within 30
days from the Beginning of the enum-
Grafton. except that in any city hav-
ing 5000 inhabitants OF more at the
preceding census. the enumeration
shall be completed within two weeks.
In looking into details of the esti-
mates, Oklahoma and Washington are
conspicuous as they will call for a 800
per cent. increase over the 1900 force
of enumerators.
Pennsylvania will continue in the
leadership. having slightly the largest
number of enumerators the 1910 force
being estimated at $500 against 4720
In 1900. New York is second, with
probable 5000 for 1910; as compared
with 45l1 in 1900. Next will come
Massachusetts, Indiana, Michigan.
Minnesota and California, all needing
1000 or more enumerators each.
Noteworthy increases in population
will, in 1910. occasion a so per cent
increase over the 1900 force in Cali
fornia, Florida, Georgia, Massachu-
New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas
West Virginia and Wyoming.
No material increase is likely in the
number of enumerators for Vermont.
and only a small additional force for
Arkansas. Iowa, Maine, Oregon, Rhode
Island, South Dakota and Tennessee.
sylvania will centre largely in Phla-
delphia and Allegheny counties. The
number in Philadelphia will be in
creased from 1859 in 1900, TO 1900 in
1910. Allegheny county was counted
in 1900 by 553 enumerators, and will
require 500 in 1910.
New York State was counted by 454l
enumerators in IA days In 1900 It is
estimated that in 1910 it will require at

haitian and the Bronx and 1900 for
Brooklyn and Long Island.
The New Jersey population was
taken I'm 1870 by 1928 enumerators; III

New Mexico in 1900 was counted by
195 enumerators in % days.
Maryland was counted in 1900 by

OF Baltimore, which had 327 enumerat.
ors at the twelfth census. and will re.
quire 400 enumerators next year e
