THE CENSUS.

NEXT TUESDAY NI'GHL ARRANGEMENTS FOR' TRAVELLERS. ■ " ' (by TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.! WELLINGTON, April 16. The census 1 is drawing near; and all passengers travelling on the , Main Trunk expresses, or on the coastal and ferry steamers, on Tuesday night must furnish a personal schedule. Complete arrangements have been made to ensure that each passenger will be given; a form to fill in. As far qs the trains arc concerned, .a special officer from the census office will conduct the enumeration on each Auek-land-WellingtoiU' of W|ellington<>Auckland express on that night. He will distribute the necessary forms before midnight, and collect them before the end' of the journey. No special officers are being detailed for ships, but the boat officials' swill see that a personal schedule is furnished by each passenger. During the past week forms been handed to. persons booking passages for the census night, with a request that they be completed-before embarking. It is quite possible, however., that many intending .passengers have not received 1 forms, and they are earnestly advised to obtain tlie' forms from the census enumerator, who,, in all larger, towns, is the local postmaster. Having obtained and completed the form, each passenger will then be in. a position to surrender it when requested to do so. This eoui-sc will.cause the least inconvenience both to ..the person and to the officials concerned. In tlie case of the Lyttelton ferry steamers, it should be spectally noted that the Union Company • will expect each passenger to hand )n his or her completed personal schedule ..with the steamer ticket at the gangway.
