The work involves a great deal of walking and standing for extended periods. Vi- sion, with or without glasses, must be good. Hearing with or without aid, must meet normal conversa- tional needs. Any condition which would render the applicant a hazard to himself or others, or which would prevent efficient performance of the duties of the position will be dis- qualified for appointment. 6. Veteran preference. Applicants with veteran preference who meet these requirements will be given preference over nonveteran appli- cants. 7. Age limits. The preferred age group is 25 to 45 and the required age limit is 21 to 65, inclusive. 8. Rate of pay. In general, com- pensation will be on a piece-rate basis. The enumerator will be paid 12 cents per person, 15 cents per infant, 10 cents per dwelling unit and 50 cents per farm. 9. Duration of employment. Each enumerator will be assigned an enumeration district. He will be !| charged with the responsibility of enumerating each person and each {1 dwelling unit in that district. As his pay is on a piece price basis he can work as many hours as he chooses in completing his assignment which should take from two to four weeks. For the next ten vears the repre- sentation in the Territorial Legis- lature will be based on this census. Therefore, it becomes very important that every person in the First Divi- sion be enumerated because of the ranendous growth of population in the Third and Fourth Divisions which will give these divisions a ~reater percentage of the population of Alaska, therefore allowing them more members in the House of Rep- resentatives.
