HIGHLY CoMPLIMENTED
 FOR HIS WORK.
C. J. Downes Receives Letter from
 State Census SupervIor Bailey.

Supervisor c. J. Downes, who had charge of the census in this county, is feeling justly proud of the following appreciation of his work as expressed in the accompanying letter from State Supervisor Bailey:
 New Haven. June g. 1910. MT. c. J. Downes, Norwich, Connecti-
 cut:
 Dear sir-As I look back over the census of this state I feel that the enumeration has been success and that the census has been aa good as any this state has ever had. The sue cess of any census depends upon the work of the enumerators. If they are careful and conscientious the work will be well done. In every census there are some enumeratorS who are unfor- tunately incompetent and careless; these have to be kept up to the stand ard by the special agents. The hardest of the work came in the large cities of this state and the bulk of 1t fell upon q few special agents. You are one of these, and I want to take this oppor- tunity of thanking you for the con- scientious way in which you performed the task assigned to you Without your hearty cooperation and effective over sight of the enumerators the census of your city could not have been satisfac- tory During the census period in the rush of the work of this office. when there were many matters claiming att IeHIlOIl, IL IS very Ikely that wrote you letters which I might now wish had never been sent. My desire to have a successful census prompted me at times to speak plainly, and you may have felt that your efforts were not being appreciated such Is far from the case and, as I now look back over the work and the difficulties which con- fronted me. I wish to assure you of my appreciation and conviction that you did your best l wish you to know | a large pX tent, the success of this work depended upon your efforts. The work of the supervisor was practically completed before the enumeration commenced and the completion or this census is to large extent, duo to you. l feel that the supervision of your city could not have been placed in better hands and l wish you 10 feel tlat your work has been appreciated.
 With thanks for yunr interest and appreciation, Tor your efforts. l remain
 Sincerely yours
 WM. B. BAILEY. Supervisor.
