On tho subject of apportionment of the representatives representa-tives in congress, Porter says The Apportionment of representatives in congress was not delayed a moment by the failure of the census office to have official returns of the population on the convening of ' congress. If the apportionment bill which passed the house should pass the senate und become a law, the apportionment appor-tionment under the eleventh census would be about j , Two Vr Earlier than any heretofore made. On tho subject of farms, homes and inoitages, etc.. Porter said: "The work accomplished bv this division up to date maybe briefly stated as fol- lows: Number of counties in which complete abstracts have been made, 277.")-, number of counties In which the , abstracting is unfinished, 7. j , TotHl Number of counties . . . in the United States, 2782; tium-1 tium-1 er of counties in which tuipplcmnntal woik must be done, owing to ineom-L ineom-L jdetoness of abstracts, 17; number of mortgages for which abstracts were ; made, M,5tft.ftl5; estimated number of L mortgages for which abstracts are yet to be made in counties that are not to . be re-abstrweted, r7,4"i0, 1.1 Junlifl of MnrtslK y.ii-y' ineimletl-, Jq tbu, United States ""f ' dnrtnii thfi ttsn VHarriiiiding D'towItp;; ' - ' CI.

Within a Few Months the census office, expects to announce the number of persons in the United Uni-ted States living in rented homes, and cultivating rented farms, free from " 1 debt, and the number reported as own ing farms ami homes mortgaged. While the facts obtained by the iuvesti-' iuvesti-' gation will Throw a New I.tght upon the mortgage indebtedness, and while tho material gathered gath-ered bids fair to be far more complete nnil far more reliable than I had ever hoped, the cost of the inquiry has been great, and will fully reach niv original . estsmate of Sl,2.j().(M)0 to Jl,."id(),000. |
