School enumeration

Published September 25, 2020 Submitted by: Renee

"J.B. Richardson, who is taking the school enumeration, says he has yet to go over the sixth, seventh, and eighth wards. He will not have the work completed until sometime in May. He estimates that the number of school children will be about the same as last year."
Leader-Democrat, April 14, 1896
