Census in Amarillo is almost finished with director Earl C. Cayton predicting completion in the next few days. He said the count will continue until everyone is counted or given a chance to be enumerated and added that missed individuals will bear responsibility. A high number of call-backs and difficulties locating residents in apartments and hotels have slowed progress, with one enumerator even threatening to open an office in a rooming-house hall due to access issues. Amarillo is not alone in delays.
