DIRECTOR OF CENSUS

Acting on the appeal of the director of census of Washington. the commit tee has decided to offer it's co-opera tion with the census supervisors and enumerators in securing an accurate record of the populatio of the city of Birmingham and the other infornla- ton sought in the performance of your duties. To that end we urge that you ke such special interest in your work as to make sure that not single person in your territory is missed. Never before was Birmingham so con gested as now. In Hundreds of resi- dences. boarding houses and apartment buildings more than one family is jointly occupying the premises as home, We, suggest that you ask tht first person interviewed as to whether anyone is sharing the home with such person as sub-tenant or as co-ten1nt You could easily miss several persons in each block by failing to take this precaution.
 Then again. maybe a house appears to be vacant while. in fact. the occu- pant is absent on a visit and should certainly with all the family. be counted by referring to the neighbor or at least reported to' the supervisor so that such absent resident may be with.
 Also. it may be that servants houses are on the same premises with their employers. This would appear to be chance for another omission.
 "We wish YOU to realize that We are actively doing everything possible to educate the peon1e on the necessity of nromptIy responding to your questions. This Is being ur~ed by the judges to the iurors and witnesses in the courts, by .he newspn pers. by the preachers and others It is fhe purpose of the committee 10 check the work inde- pendentlv of the federal authorities and we hope that not a person will esospe for whom you are to be held resnonsible.
 .In conclusion. we wish to emDha- size that we desire no padding Of our population. but only true count notb'ng more. nothing less

Ocean Rates from Mobile
 Hindering Export Trade
Even With 20 Per Cent Dfferential Via Warrior River Cheaper to Ship by Key West-Atanta Shipping
 Birmingham Products to Cuba

While Birmingham business men and manufacturers have been talking about foreign trade for several months past, the business men of Atlanta have already captured a considerable volume of it.
 Reports show that during the month or November Atlanta shippers exported com modities to the value of sl75,ooO to Cuba, and some of the commodities at least were made in Birnsingham
 Birmingham has the advantage of At lanta in the matter of all-rail rates to Key West, tnrough which port most of the Atlanta exports to Cuba passed, and also to Mobile, from which port direct line of ships to Cuba is operated. The ocean rates from Mobile to Havana and other Cuban ports are so much higher than from i(ey West. however, that shipments by thlt route are practically prohibitive unless the Warrior river, with it's p per cent dlsferentia;, is used in transporting the ar.icle5 to Mobile from Birmingham
 Even with the advantage of the War rior river rates in favor of Birmingham there are large number of other cities in this section that cannot use the riyer.

RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION

Trade Commissioner Garrard Harris qf the United States department of com nerce, who has been in Birmingham the past two months Investigating conditions with reference to foreign trade when this matter was called to his attention, in- vestigaSed the matter of rates with the following result:
 All ri.il rates to Key West:
 Machinery. from Atlanta, 46i3 cents; from Birmingham, A5 cents. Special iron, From Atlanta. 42 cents; from BirminshHn 3S cents Fancy facing brick, from Atlanta S540 a ton; from Birmingham s4.50 a ton

STEAMSHIP RATES TO HAVANA

Steamship rates to Havana:
 Machilery, from Key West. 65 centsi from Mobile. 72n cents. Special iron, from Key West, os cents; from Mobile, 6S centa Car wheels and aXles from Key West, special contract; from Mobile, 661a cents Facing brick. from Key West. g cents; from Mobile, ii cents. Agricultural ma. chinsry from Key West 55l5 cents; from Mobile 72ia ct:.ts.
 Birmingham has 3 lower all-rai caie te either Mobile Key West than Atianta, but the higher steamship rates from Mo bile make shipments through that port almost prohbitive.
 The 20 per cent differential in favor ot the rail-water shipment, Or alt-watet shipments, to Mobile does not equal the difference in the ocean rate to Cunah ports from Motile and Key West.
 Mir Harris stated yesterday that as d result of the investigation he has mlie it is rrobatle the shippers of Birminghan n and other cities in this part of the south will suggest Joirt action by them and 'he business men of Mobile in an effort to readiust rates out of that port so that the port of Mobile may be able to hand'e at least par. o. the shipments going ou; of this section to Cuba. and other West Indies ports
