Elsewhere many people seem to think that they do not have to answer ths questions and in some instances refuse to do so. “It might be well to call attention to the fact that the law requires every person to respond to the queries of the enumerators, The law states: ‘If any adult person re- fuses or wilfully neglects to answer an enumerator's questions, or, if any person wiltully gives answers that are false, he or she can be arrested, carriéd to court, and fined up to $100. Keepers of hotels, apartment houses, boarding or lodging houses, tenements or other buildings, in which persons make their homes, must help the enumerator when asked or they will be lable to arrest and punishment by a fine of up to $00.
