CENSUS DEPUTIES
HAVE HARD TASK

OAKLAND, April 81. Supervisor
James M. Burke of the census bureau
announced today that great difficulty
had been experienced by the enumera-
tors in getting the inmates of lodging
houses properly to fill out the blanks.
Some places have been visited as many
as five times by deputy, who has been
received with anything but courteous
treatment
Next Monday five new agents will
be appointed for lodging houses alone.
Unless the tactics of dodgers and own
ers undergo a change a number of ar
rests will be made. Burke today said
that every man who failed to do what
was required of him would be prose
cuted to the fullest.
AS a warning and important notice
to aid in taking the census, Supervisor
Burke has issued the following procla-
nation:
To the People of Oakland:

We hope these special agents viii meet

that the law compels all persons to furnish
the census information when it is requested
of them. I glad to state that the re-

or homes and leave them for the census men.
