Census Work Dragging, Officials Frustrated by Delays
Chief Clerk Walters and Census Supervisor Oliver face constant questions from frustrated enumerators. A veteran enumerator notes the current method requires five times more work than in 1880, with districts sized 1,800 to 2,500 names and 100 names per day, risking completion beyond ten to fifteen days.
