ii could not sec that Burdette could

As result of the efforts made
through the medium of school children
to secure a complete census OF the
people of Richmond a total of a.,
names was secured. These were turned
over to Census Supervisor C. Ridge
way Moore yesterday.
Mr. Moore at once proceeded TO get
the names properly listed. Every per-
son was assigned to the enumerator in
the section which includes the address
given. Each OF these enumerators was
written a personal letter directing him
to call to-day without fail and list the
persons, OF course avoiding duplica-
lions.
This result does not mean that AZ
persons had been missed. In some
cases 1t will Doubtless be found that
the information had been secured from
