The estimates for the work of the
bureau for the fiscal year 1914 amount

The most striking recommendation
in Director Durand's report are the
plan TO use United States mail car

part Of the census field work as pos
sible, and the plan to provide for the

proposed, il congress approves. to ap-
ply these methods to the special cen

In regard 10 the plan of using mail

report:
