MOVING CENSUS RECORDS.
Those Relating to Manufactures Stored in the Union Building.

The records of the Manufactures Division of the Eleventh Census are being removed from room 216 of the Interior Department Building, where they have been reposing undisturbed for several years, and taken to the Union Building, on G Street, where they will be stored in the basement.

A short time ago the records of the Population Division of the Eleventh Census, in all over a hundred cartloads, were taken from Marine Hall to the Union Building.

During the last census a "Newspaper Division" was inaugurated, in which files were kept of all the most prominent newspapers of the United States, but after a few months this was discontinued as impracticable. Now these files are being transferred to the Union Building where, with the other obsolete records they will remain, presumably until condemned and destroyed.
