ASKS COOPERATION.
Census Bureau Wants Information on
Encumbrnnces on Homes.

The u. S. Census Bureau has appealed
TO the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce for assistance In giving publicity
to the efforts of the bureau to obtain
information regarding the amount OF
the encumbrances on homes in this city
as of January /. 1920. In compiling
statistics IL is necessary to show tho
number of homes so encumborod, the
market value of such properties at that
date. the amount of original encum-
brance and the rate of interest being
paid.
About 5000 letters and blanks were
mailed to citizens of this city and only
about two thousand replies received.
The statistics complied from this small
proportion will be very misleading and
the result will not be Indicative OF the
actual conditions existing here.
The Bureau appealed for cooperation
from the newspapers of the city in Civ
ing publicity TO the fact that ii is inn
portant TO the city that there should be
hearty cooperation on the part of all
citizens to whom these letters and
blanks were sent.
The information thus given will he
treated as strictly confidential and used
exclusively for the purpose of compil-
ing general tables for the City.
