RENSMAN MAY GO
TO DAYTON FROM
EATON OFFICE
Census Supervision Probably
Must be Made From Largest
City of District. !.

EATON, O., Sept. st is not un-
likely that the Offices of Census Super
visor Grifnn e. Rensman. of Eaton,
will be transferred from Eaton to Day
ton, although the supervisor would
prefer that his Offices, which he has
established in the courthouse here, re-
main in Eaton.
In a communication received by Su-
pervisor Rensman from the director of
the census he states that It Is Gus
tomary to establish each census dis
trict Offices in the largest city in the
district, which in the case Of the Sec
ond Ohio Census district Dayton is
the largest city.
1t Is desirable to have the Offices in
a federal building. which eliminates
rental cost, when convenient. The Of
fees as now established embrace all
modern conveniences and no rental is
to be exacted by the county commits.
sioners.
That Dayton seems likely to get the
omces Is due to the fact that out of
q total OF 264 enumeration sub-divis-
ions, as outlined in q tentative plan,
Montgomery county has 166 enumer-
alton subdivisions or districts, while
Butler county has 76 and Preble coun-
ty %.
Supervisor Rensman states that he
will go over the situation carefully
and If he is convinced that the work
can be directed and handled to better
advantage from point other than
Eaton he will of his own accord sug-
gest that the Offices be located at the
point that Is most advantageous.
