Kenton, Cheswold and Townsend
The enumerators who are to take
the government census in Delaware
this year have been appointed and
their names were made public Fri
day afternoon by DR.. L. Heisler
Ball, the supervisor of the census
for Dlaware. The appointments
followed the examination of test
papers and were made by the Census
Bureau at Washington. A few va
cancies still remain, due either to
the fact that no applicants in the
districts to be supplied applied; the
applicants failed in the test or to
some other cause. Those appointed
for this immediate vicinity including
Smyrna, Clayton, Kenton, Ches-
void, Blackbird and Townsend are
District No. l, part of First Repre-
sentative district, including part of
Smyrna, Robert L. Cummins, Smyr-
ma; No. 2, part of First Representa-
tive district, including part of Clay
ton and part of Smyrna. Raymond

liam B. Remley, Kenton.
Other Districts Around Smyrna
In the appointments for rural New
Castle County, Gilbert R. Lynch of
Blackbird is given the district 90
and 100 comprising Blackbbird Hun
dred. Phillip M. Money and James
McCarter both of Townsend have
the districts 81 and SO of Appoquin-
mink Hundred. The census will be
taken and compiled according to rep
resentative districts throughout the
State. The districts have been
divided among several enumerators
where they are thickly populated,
but in some cases it will be possible
for a single enumerator to cover
an entire district. The State is
divided into 125 enumeration dis
tricts, of which so are in Whining
ton; 30 in rural New Castle county.
25 in Sussex and 20 in Kent. For
some reason which DR.. Ball is unable
to explain, except that it was a mat
er of precedent, the numbering of
the districts starts in Kent county,
with Wilmington next, rural New
Castle next and Sussex county next.
In the list are number of women,
! including some who did census work
10 years ago, and among the men
there are also some who helped to
take the last census. A number of
colored men are in the list.
