Show PROPRIETOR OF HOTEL 1 LE1S EM AID I TO ENUMERATOR I Editor Standard: My attention ha" been called to an article that appeared stating that the Lucerne hotel ro fused to give or assist the enumerate 'M in securing the names of persons re-siding re-siding in this hotel for the census. The whole facts pertaining to tne 'jM matter are that when the en 'merator called I explained to him that We had about twenty-five permanent roomers in the hotel but that they were -at their places of business at that time and suggested that 1 give him a full list of their names but he said he did not fl desire the names but would give m lists 'for 'them to fill out and mail to him. I took the lists and made a spe-cial spe-cial effort to see every person and e plained thoroughly what it was for and iM urged upon them the necessity of promptly mailing them so ..bat Ogden would get full credit for its population. tH If some of them failed to mail them I cannot see why the blame should bo kH attached lo me. Since that time I have. written per-sonally per-sonally every one that failed to send in his slip and took the full list to Mr. H Romney. lM 1 have been done an injustice in this lM matter and I trust you will give space jfl so that the public will know the true situation. I am as big a booster for Ogden as any one. Thanking you in advance, 1 remain. Yours veruy truly, W. E PHILLIPS, ' Proprietor Lucerne Hotel. |
