TAKES THE CITY ENGINEER JOB
HOW UNCLE SAM WILL SPEND SIS O0O 900 IN
ONE DAY---APRIL 15--- TO COUNT ALL OUR NOSE
It Will Take Nearly $4,000
People and a Lot of Smart
Machines to Do the Census
Job This Year - Facts
About the Huge Task.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-On a
quiet side street, almost under the
shadow of the capitol, is low,
rambling, red brick structure
which is noisy neither in appear
ance nor in the days news at
present. Yet the occupants of
this building are getting ready to
spend in single day the sum of
$15,O0O,OOO.
The day is April 15-census
day. The building is occupied by
Director e. Dana Durand and his
census bureau.
1t is a big job spending $751;
100000 all in wad like that, and
already there are sure indications
of the activity to come. Each day
sees new faces among the crowd
Of clerks in the building, and new
faces will continue to appear until
on April Is. there will be 1000
clerks, stenographers, typewriters,
machine operators and experts
crowded about the machines,
benches and desks, counting the
noses of all of us who live under
the stars and stripes from Porto
Rico to the Philippines.
Only in theory is the counting
all to be done and the money spent
on census day In reality Durand
began spending his appropriation
last fall and it will be the middle
of 1912 before the last column of
stastics is footed up.
But so far as the figures are
concerned they apply only to
April Is. The baby born April 16
will not get into the 1910 census.

tie royal soon has disappeared fol.
lowing the exclusive statement Of
the United Press yesterday that
Roosevelt will discuss political mat
ters at home as soon as he has
talked with ex-Forester Clifford Pin
chot and Senator EIIhu Root.
The morning papers throughout
the east followed this statement
and give much space to Roosevelt's S
probable attitude.
While it is believed that he will
keep out of the insurgent fight long
enough to forestall charges of i'll
considered action, it is pointed out
that he still has the habit of doing
the unexpected, and statement re-
garding the insurgent movement
soon after his return to America
will not cause much surprise in
political circles.
In fact, many political leaders, in
Washington would not be surprised

patches from Italy that state, quot.
