 enumerators to do the work in 1910. The l Colorado force in 1900 numbered 391. The l increase in population and the reduction
 of the working day from 10 to eight hours I will require about 500 enumerators within the time limit in 1910. The number of 1 Connecticut enumerators will be increased

 Days for the Work.

Montana had 234 l enumerators in 1900 who averaged 2S days, l and in order to complete the enumera- ton in the proper time in 1910, owing to the growth in population In certain parts of the state. 45o men will be required.
