NUMBERING THE PEOPLE
PREPARATIONS FOR APRIL CENSUS.
Preliminary work for the census in April next is in hand, and it is expected that the appointment of the census enumerators will be announced within the next week or so.
The enumerators will control the distribution and collection of the householders’ schedules, which distribution will be done by subenumerators. About 56 census enumerators will be required, and approximately 1000 sub-enumerat-ors. The sub-enumerators will be selected for their knowledge of the districts which they will have to work. Some will be mounted men, others will be cyclists, and the balance will go on foot. The work of collecting the schedules in the four centres will be pushed through as speedily as possible, on account of continual movement of the population, and, in Wellington alone, some 50 or 60 collectors will be at work. Householders can assist by not oniy having their schedules filled in when they are called for, but (in cases where they are moving) making arrangements whereby schedules can be picked up without trouble. It is intended to make the forthcoming census as complete and perfect as it is possible to get it.
The electoral boundaries are to be readjusted on the result in time for the general election. In addition to the general census, it is proposed to take the agricultural statistics at the same time. This is a reversion to the system which obtained previous to 1895.
