The Importance Of the census
cannot be over-stresSed. Every
name must be enumerated and list
ed. Every man, woman, and child
residing III Brownsville and the VAL
ley must be accounted for before
May /. when the census comes 10
a close.
Figures Now Low
The population attributed 10 this
city at present Is little more than
1900, and that for Harrington Is
around 100. Other Valley town:
are as grossly misrepresented. and
the successful listing of all Valley
residents will correct false impress
sions based on 1920 figures which are
common in the north and east OF
the country.
This census, the 18th decennia,
census, L. <. Bennett, supervisor OF
census for the 18th district explain
ed, includes two subjects which were
not covered in the 1920 census and
one Of which was never included
in any previous census. These are
distribution and unemployment, the
distribution phase having never
been enumerated before.
Under the present census a list
OF manufactures is being taken this
year for 1929, thus forming virtually
a part Of the Fifteenth census.
Not Accurate
With no accurate knowledge con-
corning the activities in trade nov
available, only the toughest OF
guesses can be made regarding even
such simple data as the number OF
wholesale and retail establishments
and the total volume OF business
done" Mr.. Bennett explained. The
