CENSUS MDCCCXLI.

THE " enumerators" to be employed in taking the new census are to be paid in proportion to the number of houses or persons in the districts assigned to them; from 10s. for every district con- taining less than 50 inhabited houses or 300 persons, up to 11. ls. for every district containing from 150 to 160 inhabited houses or 900 to 960 persons enumerated, with an increasing rate of is. for every 10 additional houses or 60 additional persons. There is little danger of the census erring on the side of deficiency, with this temptation to exaggerate the numbers and no check upon the enumerators.
