Progress sof Census Work

Progress sOf Census Work
Census Supervisor John T. McEniry is
very anxious that no one be overlooked in
the present census and urges that If the
onumerator has not succeeded in seeing
any one to communicate with Mr.. Bass
at Birmingham or with the main office at
Bessemer
The work is progressing as well or bet
ter than I expected said Mr.. McEniry
Some of the enumerators in Greater
birmingham have finished their districts
practically and are now engaged in round
ing up the ones that have not been seen
or from whom 1t was difficult to obtain
Information. The daily reports from the
country districts show good progress,
which is daily growing more marked ow-
ng to the efforts of the press to impress
upon the people the need of co-o operation
with the 0fficials. t
We have been busy almost night and
lay at the home office checking the work
Of the enumerators. 1t is necessary for
each item to be checked and as there are
many items the work is necessarily long
drawn out. ! do not anticipate any trou-
Die in finishing within the required time.
