New Britain herald., 1917-02-28
CITY ALMOST READY
FOR SECOND CENSUS
Personal Enrolment NearS Com
pleti0n-I Industries Next

The large and efficient corps of
office assistants on duty every day and
every evening, coupled with the out
side staff of census taking agents,
makes it apparent that New Britain's
military census will be completed in
a few days. In most of the large fac
tories the census taking is almost
completed, as it is in the various bus
mess houses. offices and stores. The
Joint committees from the democratic
and republican ward organizations
promise speedy cooperation when it
becomes necessary to take the house
to house canvass. Although the To-
cal headquarters has received no in
formation or orders as yet it is
known that material census will be
taken following this personal enroll
ment. The material census will spec
ify and group the various factories
so that in case of emergency it will
be easy to determine just what con-
Germs can best aid the government
and just what employees would be
more valuable at home than in the
field. 1t is also una uthoritively stat
ed that a complete or partial census
of the women in the city may be
taken soon, dealing particularly with
nurses those skilled in first aid work
or those who have had some eNper-
fence along these lines
