NO CENSUS IN 1941
Dominion Special Service. CHRISTCHURCH, March 30. _ “No census will be taken this year,” said the Minister in Charge of the Census and Statistics Department, Mr. Nash, in reply to a question as to whether the Government had made a decision following the authority given last year to postpone the quinquennial census which would have been held normally in 1941. A clause in the Finance Act, No. 1, 1940, gave power to hold the 1941 census between 1941 and 1945, the next census to be taken in 1946. The year of taking the census is to be appointed by proclamation by tile Governor-General. The postponement of the census means that no report will be made by tbe Electoral Boundaries Commission.
