Cedar Rapids may delay a special census after only about 190 job applications for enumerators, far short of the 600 wanted by the U S Census Bureau. City officials cite costs of up to 40 000 and potential federal aid impacts as the reason for the planned count. If enough applicants do not appear this week, the project will be postponed, increasing city costs for crew leaders and extended work.
