Hotel guests to be counted in special census project
A nationwide special census effort will count hotel guests and transients tonight in Cobb County and across the nation. Census workers will place individual forms in the rooms of hotels with 60 or more rooms and assist guests in completing them. Each hotel will have one enumerator per 100 rooms, with forms returned to lobby boxes and then to district supervisors for transmission to Washington. The count records the guest’s most permanent residence, not the hotel location. Also reported, the Norwegian freighter Geisha sent distress signals in rough Atlantic seas southeast of St Johns Newfoundland.
