THE CENSUS
TO -BE TAKEN NEXT YEAR. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON,„ February 9. The subject of the censSSs has been before Cabinet several times, said the Prime Minister to-night. The quinquennial census would have been taken in the ordinary course in April next, but there has been a suggestion that it should be postponed in view of the war. Cabinet decided to-day that the census should be taken, but in all probability it will not be possible to make the necessary arrangements until early next year. The decision of the Government was due mainly to the desire of Ministers to give the boundary commissioners a sure basis for the adjustment of electoral boundaries before next general election.
