The wintry weather since last Fri- day, when the census enumerators started their work of taking the count of the Norwich vpopulation, has not 2dded to their comfort in getting mround from house to House as they cover the streets in their districts but the enumerators are at work and are making good progress, One district, No. 283, which covers on the West Side between West Main street and the Yantic river, has not yet had the work started, as tho enu- meratcr assigned has given up the job, but another is to be secured. Inspector Henry Gebrath in his of- fice at the mayor's room in the city hall is giving instructions to the enumerators as they run into snags in the course of their work, but no seri- ous difficulties have arisen, although one or two have had to copy. their sheets over 5o that _they might be turned in in acceptible form. The government census officials at Wash- ington are very particular that the forms should be made out exactly ac- cording to instructions. One enumera- tor got @wisted on the answer to the question about school attendance. This is only applicable to people between 5 and 21. This line on the ' census sheet shopld be left blank for all other ages, but’ this man filled it out “Yes” or “No® for dveryone he counted from 1 month old to 90 vears. The Tesult was he had to write a whole sheet over. One Norwich city, enumerator was rather startled and puzzled when he asked a woman what her husband’s occupation was. “On b 3 If you are troubled with pains or tired; have headache, you will find relief in { 1o Snaldine: along Spalding to Frank- £ 7 _ NoRwicH & mean?”: queried the enumerator fur- ther. [ “Why, yes; that's where he had his operation.’ + Now the enumerator has changed his query to “What does your husband work at?” Something new in the line of occu- pations bobbed up when oneenumers.- tor turned in.a sheet with a “laboress’ on it. “A man's a laborer isn't he?” the enumerator said to Inspector Gebrath, when -questioned about the _strange designation, “and a woman must be & laboress.

In the reports some of them only charge 50 cents for a dinner, while some of them eat $1.50 dinners. If the officers investigate a nuisance, they put in their bill for $10, if the work: takes them ten minutes or ten hours. It all constitutes a day’s work.
