through carolesness on the part OF one
OF the enumerators The names Of at
least 800 persons living on the outskirts
OF Newark 10 Is alleged has not been in
cludcd in thc recent federal census. IL is
alleged that when the census takers at
iention was called to the matter he
remarked that he did not know they
were in his district. but to date he has
made no effort, 10 Is said, 10 correct his
mistake by taking the names and for
warding them TO Washington so they
can be included in the White Clay Creek
census The matter, II is said. will be
brought TO the attention Of former Rep
resentative William II. Welch,- Of Milton,
census director for this State.
Some Of the districts which the
enumerator, who was assigned the work
in the upper part Of White Clay Greek
hundred, Is said 10 have missed are
South ChapelN street from Continental
avenue TO Pencader, sections OF what Is
known as Deandale, a number OF houses
on East Main street, Newark, and also
some houses in the Negro section OF
the town. Persons living In these sec
lions say that their homes have not
been canvassed by the census taker.
Il ls thought that at least 300 persons
living in theie localities have been
missed.
The sections mentioned while ap-
parently in N.wark are not within The
town boundarls and therefore it was
not the business OF the enumeraor as
signed Newark 10 canvass these houses
outside the town limits. The work
properly belonged to the White Clay
Creek rural census taker. At least one
citizen has on two OCCASIONS called the
attention OF the numerstor to the fact
that he had missed many houses and as
stated. his reply was that he did not
know they were in his district. think
ing they were IN the town OF Newark
One OF the homes missed by d9c
enumerator IN Bast Newark was that
OF former Senator Harvey Hoffecker.
