In this viow I am now canvassing the city, assisted by Mr. John W. Powell, an entirely reliable gentleman, to obtain subseriptions and advertisements to secure the success of the enterprise.

propose as soon as a sufficient sum is subseribed, to diride the city into convenient districts of such size as to embrace from 500 to 700 people each as nearly as possible, and to place enumerators in the field who are residents of the districts they are to enumerate and to get the work done in few days, We hope thus to demonstrate that the receut ceusus enumeration which gave this city only 21,500 population is utterly erroneous, and at the same time furnish the best direetory ever given city. As all depends upon securing sufilcient subscrip.ions advance to carry through the undertaking, you are earnestly requested not to turn away the canvasser when he calls upon you.
