The announcement that the time

news to the enumerators, as net a one
Of those engaged in the work in this
city, that is OF the four white enum-
orators, have completed the work and
1t will take them at least five more
days to complete the task in a salts
factory manner. 1t is not that every
nCu5e in the city has not teen visited
hy the men engaged in the work, but
they have been confronted with all
kinds of backsets which have greatly
delayed the work In the first place
dozens and dozens OF people were
not at home when they made the first
call. 1t was necessary for them 10
return to all of these houses, and, in
many instances, no one could be found
nome, and T.. apapr c:sses Il has been
necessary for the enumerators to call
at one residence four or five times
before they could get the necessary
information.
! In one or two districts the e-um-
orators have just finished thoit r2and
and they will nov nave ave days in
which TO make the second call at all
houses.

with the eaumeratora in every way
possible during the week. If you have
MT been enumerated or ii you know
OF any one VINO has not, just drop Tha

will be secured As has been urged
all along, this is a matter Of great i'm
portance to every city in the country
as it will fix the citgs population for
the next ten years.

! City council will take some action
in the matter at special meeting
to be held tomcrrow. Mayor Hop
kns stated 10 a News reporter last
night that many citizens had request
ed him to call special meeting and
discuss the matter and see if there
was not some way in which the enum-
orators could receive the assistance
of the city authorities. 1t has been
suggested that the city appropriate
sum with which to employ some one
thor ughy familiar with the city to
enter UrOn the specific work of look
ing up all people who had not been
enumerated and report them to the
men who are doing the work for the
! government. The men engaged eX-
clusively in This work, could render
valuable assistance during the remain
ing five days. and it would not be
very heavy expense to the city. This
matter will be discussed at the spec
ial meeting tomorrow and some act
ion VIII be taken.
1t is known that many people haV"
been missed by the enumerators. 1t
cannot be charged that il is the fault
of the enumerators, as they had
limited time in which to complete
the ,rk, and this time has not per
mitted them 10 make as thorough
