The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-01-25

New Haven, Jan. 25.-According to he estimate made by Prof. w. 5. Bailey, of Yale university, the super visor of the 18th census for the dls- trict of Connecticut for 1910, the pop ulation of this state may show the figures of 1,050,000, as compared With 900, 900 at the census of 190O
 Professor Bailey thinks that there will be a large increase shown in the foreign element, which Is chiefly con- fined to the larger cities and that some of the country towns may show a decrease in population. His opin- ion forms an interesting commentary on the changing of New England life.
 The professor was sworn in yester- day as supervisor and is now clearing up the field for the carrying out of this work, under the direction of the census bureau. He received yesterday about POO formal applications as enum- orators and today being the last, ex- cept such as are received by mail, he expects to receive at least 300 more. He has about 600 so far. He needs about 575 enumerators in all. Some of the small towns have not sent in the quota of names desired. The tests of these applicants will be held un- der comparatively simple civil service regulations in 29 towns of the. state on February 5. It is quiet likely that there will be a thousand or 1,200 of them altogether In towns where, civil service examination cannot be held, Professor Bailey will probably conduct it himself, as it is desired to have the enumerators come from each individual town where possible.
 There Is still some question as to whether there may prove to be enum- orators enough, but if there are not. the enumeratOrs from other towns will cover those not otherwise taken care of. Any live enumerator, it is said, fn ha QhlQ tn 9f last S4 a day. The city enumeration runs from April 15 to May 1. The country enum- eration runs from April 15 to May 15. The main trouble is to get enumera- tors who are able to speak the foreign languages. Poles are needed for the Polish districts, Italians for the Ital- ian districts, and so on. The examina- ton papers will be ready for those who have passed the tests by the 18th of March.
 Here in New Haven the examina- tions will be held at the Boardman school building on February 5.
 Professor Bailey sent out the fol- lowing instructions for the state last night:
 In order to accommodate the cam didates for the position of enumera- tor, the bureau of the census has de- cided to hold the tests in several diff ferent places throughout the state on February g. In order to have your test paper sent to the place which will be most convenient for you, wish you would state your preference upon the application which you are to fill out. The places in which tests are to be given are as follows:
 Fairfield County-Bridgeport, Dan bury, Greenwich, Norwalk, Shelton, South Norwalk and Stamford.
 Hartford County-Bristol, Hartford, New Britain, South Manchester.
 I.itchfield County-Canaan, Litch- field, Torrington, Winsted.
 Middlesex County-Haddam, Mid dletown.
 New Haven County-Ansonia, Der by. Meriden, Milford, Naugatuck, New Haven, Wallingford and Waterbury.
 New London County-New London, and Norwich.
 Holland County-Rockville
 windham County-Putnam and Will 1imantic.
 It is thought that by holding the tests in 29 different places it will be possible for the candidates to be pres ent at some of the points without great hardship.
