to maintain homes in Mandan. And
these AZ could not be counted as
Mandan citizens because their homes
are not in the city.
"In addition there are several
score more men, most of the trav-
cling statesmen, who would estab-
lish their headquarters and homes
here if proper apartment houses or
housing facilities were available"
1t is very probable, Mr.. Iverson
said, that some persons were over
looked in the census taking. Some
persons lodged the census taker be-
cause they sought to evade assess
ments, it was indicated, although this
type was scarce, and others may have
been skipped accidentally, although
every house in the city was can
vasscd and data secured.
Some interesting information was
obtained by the assessor.
Of the 5,O6s listed, just an even
100 are foreign born who have not
yet acquired U. S. citizenship.
The city has $50 males and 2,49S
females. Five negroes are residents
here, three males and two females.
Of the 624 citizens who were born
in foreign countries, 524 have been
naturalized. There are 331 males
and 292 females in this class.
Just 252 boys and 284 girls of the
city are under years of age, while
there are ITS men and 1926 women
who are over 60 years old.
There are 822 boys between and
20 years old and 81 girls of the
same age; ,281 men and 1,l80 women
ar" between 20 and 60 years of age.
Referring to the housing problem,
Mr.. Iverson learned that there are
/ ,125 families in the city living in
/ ,025 dwellings.
The books on the census will not
close until July l, Mr.. Iverson says,
and he urges persons who think they
may have been missed in the enumer-
alton to phone him at his home or
his office, 28W.
