Salt Lake Times | 1890-06-18 | Page 4 | An Unsatisfactory Census

AN IKSATIHl ACTOR Y UENSl'H. The Times again calls attention to the census of this city. That it has been taken in a very Incomplete manner man-ner there is no doubt. We stated yesterday yes-terday that there were live or six men in The Times' composing room who had not been counted, and that .there were probably other establishments in which similar omissions had occurred. Wo have since learned of two houses in which fifteen persons have been skipped, and at one place a single blank was left for thirteen people to sign. We have no doubt , that .there arc hundreds of :. instances ': of careless work. This is too important a matter to be neglected for a single day. We again call the -attention, of the chamber of loiunierce to it, aud urge upon that body to take immediate actio ac-tio u with a, view of having the census made as complete as possible. If prompt action is taken it is not yet too lato to secure the names of a large number of persons who have ' been omitted. We hope, furthermore,' that every man or woman, who has uot been counted, will either call upon the city superintendent of the census, Mr. Wood, at the Liberal headquarters, nearly opposite the -Walker house, or uotify him by postal card. Other cities in which poor census work has-been done are making every effort to have matters rectified, and Salt Lake should do the same thing. ,
