JIUST ANSWKR QUESTIONS
ASKED BY EXl'MEItATOBS.
V lYK 1'AltK KNDS LIFE
WITH A SHOT OUN
Enumerators who aro taking a
coimus of tho city complain that resl
donts refuse to answer somo of the
quontlons that appear on tho blnnks.
For tho boneflt of such persons" The
Tribune is requested to stato that
Section 32 of tho Census Enumeration
Act provides a flno of $100 for those
who fall to answor tho questions
which appear on the schedules, and
that theso schedules aro scrutinized
by the ccnaus officials at tho division
headquarters and that tho names of
violators can thus easily be obtained.
Tliero are no questions on tho sched
ules which tho government has not a
right, to know, nnd when giving
answers to these questions, the
answer Is known only to the enumer
ator and tho census officials that Is,
it is not mado public. Ono of the
questions which many decline to
answer Is to whether or not the home
is mortgaged. To declino to answor
such a question is rather childish, for
such information Is not made public,
and if tho public did caro enough to
know they could easily obtain tho in
formation by investigating tho records
in tho county clork's office. Whether
or not your homo Is mortgaged Is n
matter of public Tocord In that offlco
and everybody interested has access
to the records.
Tho enumerators for the city are:
Mrs. A. N. Durbln in tho First Ward,
Darrell Healey in tho Second, Mrs.
Scott in tho Third and Mrs. Snyder in
the Fourth.
Tho district supervisor of this cen
sus district is expected in North
Platte somo timo next week to in
quire into the enumeration and assist
the enumerators in whatever way pos
sible. ::o::
