IMPORTANT INQUIRY
MUST Be ANSWERED
TO AVOID PENALTY, CITIZENS
MUST COMPLY WITH THE
CENSUS LAWS.

Department of Commerce, Bureau of
the Census, Washington, D. G., Ju-
ly 18th. 1921.
Editor, The County Record:
The Census Bureau is now in the
midst of an investigation to ascertain
the amount of the membranes on
homes. This inquiry is made in compli-
ance with the requirements of the Act
of congress approved March 8, 1919.
It is desired to show the total number
of homes in each city that are rented,
the number that are owned free of
mortgage, the number that are sub
ject to mortgage Indebtedness and the
amount of such indebtedness. Sched-
ules of inquiry calling for this infor-
nation have been sent to all Of the
persons. reported in your city as own
ing homes subject to mortgage, but
unfortunately, a large number Of the
citizens have not replied to the official
request. We imagine this Indifference
on their part is due to the fact that
they do not appreciate the Importance
of the statistics, and I write to you in
the hope that you will give some pub
licity to the census inquiry so more
prompt attention will be given to our
communications.
I enclose copy of the schedule In
quiry. Two requests have already
been sent to your citizens. A third
request is now about to be mailed. The
law providing for this inquiry con-
tains penalty for refusal to furnish
the information but it has not been
our practice to enforce this penalty
and we hope it will not be necessary
to depart from IT. / believe that your
citizens, will give more propmt atten-
ton to the inquiry if they are assur-
ed that their replies will be treated
as strictly confidential and the figures
used only for the compilation Of totals
similar to those contained in the en-
closed statement for the District OF
Columbia.
This is a very important inquiry.
The statistics will 60 far toward show
ing actual conditions that are existing
in the different sections Of the coun-
try, and trust that it will be conven-
lent for your paper to give publicity
to the matter. If you desire any adj
ditional information or additional cop
les of the report for the District OF
Columbia, &c be used IS samples, we
shall be glad to hear from you.
Very truly yours. a.

Red Cross Notes.

Many persons have probably seen
in the magazines that the Red Cross
and the American Friends Service
committee have joined forces in an eff
fort to collect clothes to be sent to
the people of central and eastern Eu-
rope.
Nothing need be said here OF the
fearful need of these people. All this
is much better set forth in the Sat-
urday Evening Post and other maga-
zines than it could be by the writer.
Any one who is interested in humanity
is urged to read the facts inothe case.
Those having garments which are
strong, servicable and warm, but not
necessarily stylish, which they can
spare for these destitute ones, will
please inform the Red Cross secretary
and the things will be called for.
