Before he or she starts the enumerator will receive detailed Instructions from census commissioners. Other inform­ ation that will be collected at certain houses are, length of residence, rent­ als, repairs, equipment and mortgages. This is a very great task and the pub­ lic can expedite .things greatly for those doing this work by giving out the information requested as quickly and accurately as possible.
