CAPITAL RESIDENTS
DELAYING CENSUS
Reluctance Of Apartment and
Hotel DWeIIerS Is Cited
by ]. S. Moran.

The taking of the census in Wash
ington, according to j. Sterling Moran
supervisor, is being delayed by the re-
luctance of many >ccupants of apart
ment houses, apartment hotels and
rooming houses to furnish enumerators
the necessary information.
Mr.. Moran said his men have ex-
perienced so much difficulty with peo-
pie falling into these three classes that
il Is impossible for him TO predict al
this time when the final tabulation OF
census figures will be ready for publi-
cation.
Postmen Get Results.
The work also is being delayed. he
said because some enumerators failed
to cover their districts thoroughly
necessitating a recheck.
The best work has been dcne, he said
in the mail carrier district, where the
census was taken by postmen. Mr.
Moran himself has gone into many dis
tricts where his men had experienced
difficulty in getting individuals to make
their returns.
II persuasion fails in getting the de-
sired results, he indicated, the names

attorneys Office for prosecution.
10000 City Class Gains.
The first $40 cities of more than TO-
900 population reporting 1880 census
returns showed 23.5 per cent gain
over 1920 The $40 aggregated H.
623,358. In 1920 those same cities
totaled 9,409 400.
The first two hundred cities hao
shown a gain of but 1875 per cent. This
apparently mounting gain may be coun-
teracted by the complete report OF
cities of more than 100000. Tf--se
larger cities have shown a trend to
slow down in growth.
While more than half the cities OF
10000 OR more have reported, only
about one-third of the cities of 100,-
900 or more are included in that num-
Der. In 1920 there was 1877 cities OF
more than 10000 total which prob
ably will be increased to about 800 in
1880. OF the 737. the cities of more
than 100000 numbered 68.
