CENSUS TO BE
DONE MONDAY
Enumerators to Complete Job
of Counting Noses Here
by First of Week.

Taking of the census here will be
completed by Monday, according to
Edgar R. Mullins, assistant director of
the Grand Rapids area who was in the
city Wednesday.
Any person who is missed by the
enumerators is urgently requested to
write the office at Grand Rapids,
Mullins stated, for it is the desire of
his Office to make the census complete.
Work of counting noses here started
April 2, with six enumerators in the
field. In return for their services they
receive cents for each person counted,
2 cents for each infant four months old
or younger, 8 cents for each occupied
housing unit, and cents for each I'M
occupied unit.
After the city census is completed,
the rural count will be made, presum-
ably with the work being assigned to
the enumerators now employed here.
Excellent cooperation on the part of
Elyites is reported by the enumerators,
the Grand Rapids man said. No one
seems to balk at telling the questioners
directly the amount of their wages or
salary. Statements on income may be
made secretly by mail if so desired.

ted on April z, and the original camp
established on April II. There are 200
men per camp.
