92OCENSUS DATA
ALMOST COMPLETE
Bureau Has Cut Personnel
by More Than Halt in
TabuIating Work.

Work Of the decennial census of
1920 is rapidly nearing completion. in
| SO far as the actual task of punching
and tAbulating the immense amount
of material gathered by field agents
of the census bureau is concerned. it
was announced today. At the same
time the number OF employees has
been materially reduced. There we're
approximately 5000 employees at the
census bureau at its peak of ac-
tivity in August and September, 1920.
Now. according to figures at the close
of May, there are 2.512 persons en-
ployed at the bureau. a reduction of
more than half the large force neces-
sary to get the compilation and tabu-
Jations out during 1920.
The decennial census year does not
close until June 80, 1922. By that time
the force of the census bureau must
be reduced to- its inter-decennial pro-
portions skeleton staff compared
with the large force of employees
who have been getting out the re-
for the past year. Practically the only
division of the census that Will not
come into the general process OF stan
reduction will be the division of man
ufactures. which will take a census
| of manufactures in 1924, its last
| taken in 1919. Results of the 1919
census are now being made public.
Punching Nearly Finished.
The largest part Of the work Of the
census bureau-punching of cards
| having on them scores OF different
kinds Of data. all having an impor-
tant bearing on the results results of the the
pieted. The punching department
had more than 5000 employees when
work was at its peak. While there
has been no actual count. 1t has been
estimated 1so.ooo.ooo cards were
last year and 175.ooo.00o in the divi-
sion of agriculture. This vast num-
! Der OF cards was punched on more
than 1900 special machines, invented
and adapted by machinists employed
purpose of speedy tabulation.
At present the approximately $500
! employees of the census bureau are
largely engaged in tabulating the re-

tistics of the 1920 decennial census
have already been made public in

a COMMON MIS1'A KE.

Elsewhere In this issue will be
found an article by our good friend,
J. A. Cook, In which he gives voice
to complaints concerning the roads
OF our county and the expenditure
of bond funds 1t Is n common error
that many have fallen into in sup
posing that the bond funds are in
the hands Of and at the disposal OF
the County Supervisor. AS matter
Of fact, the reverse is true. The Su-
pervisor cannot touch one penny Of
the bond funds for either repairing
roads or building roads. The bond
funds are under the control abso-
lutely Of the County Highway Com
mission, and these funds are for Il
specific purpose. which Is not the re-
pairing Of roads in general.
Mr.. Cook gives some mighty good
advice as to "watchfuiness" on the
part Of the Supervisor, and in this
matter we feel sure that Mr.. Shock
ley will measure up to his duty. He
cannot. however, be Justly criticised
as to the matter Of no funds on hand
or with having spent the bond funds,
with which he has absolutely moth
ing to do. The funds are intact, and
the work that these funds arc de-
signed to accomplish will be done in
due time. They are not available
for the ordinary county work of re-
pairing or building.
