LAWRENCE J. LKXM’RSE.
City Clerk,
Census of 1940
Is Called Vital
Most Complete Statistical
Project Ever Taken in
United States.
W ASH IN CTO, N. Plan* a*
xmmeed by the department of com
merce for tile sixteenth decenmal
census, to be taken in £940, indicate
the most significant and comprehen
sive statistical project ever taken
ia the Uhitad. States.
The census, to cover the continent*
al United States,. Alaska, Hawaii,
the- Virgin Islands, Puerte Rico,
and some small island possessions,
will reveal the transitions in na
tional, social and economic life in
the ID eventful yews since the last
census.
The records will be broken into
four main divisions population,
manufacturers, agriculture ' and
business—and will afford an inven
tory of the humab and economic re
sources of the country. The busi
ness and manufacture count will
commence in. January. The popu
lation and agriculture tabulation
will begin April L
“With the possible exception of
the first census taken m 1790, the
. sixteenth decennial census will be
the most important ever taken/* an
official said. “It will be an inven
tory of the human and economic
resources of the country, since ev
ery person, every home, every farm,
every factory, and every stone in the
United States will be recorded.”
Large Staff Needed.
Approximately 1000 office work
i ers will increese the permanent
Washington staff ed 700 to facilitate
the reception and tabulation of re
ports from the estimated 140,000
field workers in the general census,
j Civil service appointments will be
necessary for the Washington jobs.
The country will be divided into
enumeration districts according to
population, with each 1,400 residents
of a suburban area comprising one
district, and 900 set as the figure for
a rural district.
, In all cases, the census bureau
said, district markings will follow,
insofar as possible, natural bound
aries in rural areas, as mountains,
rivers and sea coasts.
Preliminary work of mapping the
country is in progress and will not
be completed until the bureau has,
an accurate physical description of?
the entire country, with a check,
on ail village, town and ward boundt.
aries. All hospitals, insane asylurruk
and prisons will be located.
Conat to Taka 15 Days.
Census bureau officials estimate'
the average time for completion of
city tabulations at 15 days, and. for
rural areas, 30 days. Unfavorable
weather conditions would, naturally
call for an extension.
Supervisory districts will; bv shufr
fled to embrace approximately 23S
enumerators* districts each.
An almost universal rale of four
cents per name will be paid enu
merators, both city an<l rural, buA
the rate will be boosted $4 seme ex
ceptional cases as in. arKnintainou*
country or other territory with ad
verse physical factors.
After tabulation is completed, »tt
identities will be obliterated in the
long rows of figures. The bureau
repeatedly stressed that no federal
or state agency can use the census
for investigatiott, taxation or regu
lation. This, astringent restriction
applies especially to the federal bu
reau of investigation, the internal
revenue division and. the courts.
