A PROCLAMATION 
By the President of the United States of America 
WHEREAS by the Act of Con- 
gress, approved July 2, 1909, the 
Thirteenth Decennial Census of the 
United States is to be taken, begin- 
ning on the fifteenth day of April, 
nineteen hundred and ten; and 
WHEREAS a eorrect enumera- 
tion of the population every ten 
years is required by the Constitu- 
tion of the United States for the 
purpose of determining the repre- 
sentation of the several states in the 
House of Representatives ; and 
WHEREAS it is of the utmost im- 
portance to the interests of all the 
people of the United States that this 
census should be a complete and ac- 
eurate report of the population and 
resources of the country: 
Now, therefore, I, Wiliam How- 
ard Taft, President of the United 
States of America, do hereby declare 
and make known that, under the act 
aforesaid, it is the duty of every 
person to answer all questions on 
the census schedules applying to him 
and the family to which he belongs, 
and to the farm occupied by him or 
his family, and that any adult re- 
fusing to do so is subject to penalty. 
The sole purpose of the census is 
to secure general statistical infor- 
mation regarding the population and 
resources of the country, and replies 
are required from individuals only 
in order to permit the compilation of 
such general statistics. The ceasus 
has nothing to do with taxation, 
with army or jury service, with the 
compulsion of school attendance, 
son or his affairs. 
with the regulation of immigrition, 
or with the enforcement of any na- 
tional state, or local law or ordi- 
nance, nor can any person be harm- 
ed in any way by furnishing the in- 
formation required. There need be 
no fear that any disclosure will be 
made regarding any individual per- 
For the due pro- 
tection of the rights and interests 
of the persons furnishing informa- 
tion every employee of the Census 
Bureau is prohibited, under heavy 
penalty, from disclosing any in‘or- 
mation which may thus come to his 
knowledge. 
I therefore earnestly urge upon 
all persons to answer promptly, 
completely, and accurately all in- 
quiries addressed to them by the 
enumerators or other employees of 
the Census Bureau, and thereby to 
contribute their share toward mak- 
ing this great and necessary public 
undertaking a success. 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, f£ have 
hereunto set my hand and cnnsed 
the seal of the United Staies to be 
affixed. 
Done at the city of Washington 
this fifteenth day of March, A. D. 
one thousand nine hundred aud ten, 
and of the Independence of ihe Unit- 
ed States of America the one hun- 
dred and thirty-fourth.

Secretary of State.

day that designation would not ap- 
ply. Boston still predominates in 
the list of the visitors and the di- 
rectory would be a blue pick of Bos- 
ton leaders, still Washington, New 
York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chica- 
go, St. Louis and Philadelphia have 
their representatives in the colony 
today. 
Twenty to thirty years ago houses 
were put up that cost all the way 
from $1500 to $15,000. Today hous- 
es or ‘‘villas,’’ as they are called, 
are being erected that cost all the 
a ay from $250,000 to $1,000,000. 
Eagle Rock, the mansion house of 
Henry Clay Frick at Pride’s Cros- 
sing, is said to have cost a million 
of dollars, while the new palace 
which Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter of Chicago 
is to build at the Farms, is estimated 
to eost all the way from $500,000 
to $1,000,000. 
The Beverly summer colony today 
is one of the city’s principal indus- 
tries. It furnishes more than the 
half of the $33,000,000 valuation of 
the city, pays more than one-half of 
the taxes and contributes generously 
every season for the maintenance of 
the wood and shore drives and for 
the war against the brown tail and 
gypsy moth. Everything is chang- 
ing. Colonists once had stables full 
of horses of the finest blood. Today 
few have horses and the automobile 
has taken their place. Some col- 
onists have as many motor cars as 
they formerly had horses. 
Beverly has richly merited the 
title which the late Gov. Greenhalge 
gave it of ‘‘The Garden City of the 
North Shore,’’ and today it is one of 
the show places of the country.
