PASSENGERS BY TRAIN OR

STEAMER ON CENSUS NIGHT , The census is drawing near, and all passengers travelling on the M:.in Trunk expresses or on 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 as trains aro concerned a special officer from the Census Office will conduct the enumeration on each Auckland-Welling-tou or Wellington-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 aro being detailed for ships, but the boat officials will see that a personal schedule is furnished by each passenger. During tho past week forms have -been handed to persons booking passages for census night, with a request that they be completed before embarking. It is quite possible, however, that many intending passengers have not received forms and they are earnestly advised to obtain such forms from the census enumerator, who in all fho largo 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 course will causo the least inconvenience both to tho person and to tho officials concerned. In ibe case of the Lyttelton ferry , steamers it should be specially noted that the Union Company expect each passen ner to hand in his or her completed personal schedule with the steamer ticket at tho gangway.
