A APPENDICES. The Superintendent of the South-east Town Census Charge, whose substantive appointment was Chief Clerk of the Municipal Engineer's office, was placed on special duty for two months in connection with Census work, and a clerk on Rs. 70 was employed for nearly three months. It was hoped that far more Government clerks would have been made available for Census work and 291 must be a small proportion of the total available for such work in Rangoon. There is no doubt that Census work is unpopular with this class, although it was not really heavy and liberal holidays were given as a reward. It would be advisable if the Government orders could be stricter on the occasion of a Census being taken in the future as, in some cases, the heads of offices seemed to scarcely realize the urgency of the claim upon the services of their establishment. * * * 6. Preliminary enumeration was commenced in most charges by the 1st February and was completed throughout the Municipality, excepting the mills, by the 20th February. The following work was done in testing. On the 18th and 19th February I, in company with the Municipal Secretary, inspected a large number of the Enumerators' schedules and visited all the Census charges and inspected the work on the spot. In accordance with a circular issued, all the Enumerators attended, as directed, at the Jubilee Hall on the 20th and 21st February, and every book of schedules was inspected as far as possible. This checking in the presence of the Charge Superintendents and Supervisors enabled them to carry out a further and complete check if they wished to do so. The work was exceed-^, ingly laborious, but the result proved that it was absolutely necessary. At future. preliminary enumerations it would be advisable to devote more than two days to checking the work done. Four days would be well employed in this work. The usual mistakes, due to stupidity or ignorance, were met with as largely as ever. Some Enumerators showed Native Christians as Christians in column 4 and Hindus in column 8, and it was a common thing for a sect to be given for a religion. It was difficult to make the majority of the Enumerators understand column 11 (Means of subsistence of dependents on actual workers) and it would appear that the heading to the column could in future be amended with advantage. Columns i4and 15 gave a considerable amount of trouble and they appear to be unnecessarily complicated. It would appear to be simpler to have one column only, headed "Language he or she can both read and write. " As regards castes no claim to accuracy can be made as to the returns. It will never be possible to obtain accurate returns of Hindu castes in Rangoon. Few of the Enumerators know much about castes and a large proportion of the Hindus enumerated appear to know less. Some trouble was taken to get a correct list of the principal Madras castes from well-educated Madrassis, and after the list had been compiled it was found from a reference to the Madras Census Authorities that most of the names given were not |the names of castes at all. The best possible was done under the circumstances. * * * . As the caste returns in Rangoon must always be inaccurate and, therefore, useless, and as an immense amount of time is wasted in obtaining them, it would be of great advantage if no enumeration of castes were attempted in future. Sample schedules were printed and distributed, and proved of great use in the preliminary enumeration. 7. The final enumeration calls for no particular comment. * * * I am of opinion that the Census returns are accurate. No house schedules or private schedules were used within Municipal limits, and none were required or asked for, although it was publicly advertised that anybody requiring these schedules could have them. There is no necessity for using these schedules in Rangoon, as all classes of the people are accustomed to having the Census taken by Enumerators, and prefer giving the requisite information to one of them to taking the trouble to understand and fill up schedules themselves. Under these circumstances, and as time is saved and accuracy is gained by having the entire Census taken by Enumerators, there does not appear to be any necessity for having private or house schedules in Rangoon at all. 8. In accordance with a Circular letter, dated the 23rd February, the Superintendents, Supervisors, and Enumerators attended at the Jubilee Hall on the 2nd March, commencing at 7 A.M. Papers of instructions were given to the Superintendents and Supervisors, and the Municipal Secretary exercised. a general supervision over the preparation of the provisional totals. The provisional totals from the Port, the Railway, the Military authorities, the Jail, and Lunatic Asylum were received at the Jubilee Hall during the day. The Railway authorities gave their totals according to the Municipal charge division. The grand total was telegraphed to the Census Commissioner at 8-40 P.M. 9. The Census at the 51 mills in Rangoon was taken by the agency provided by the owners. Considerably less trouble was experienced on this occasion than in 189 1. At the last Census the Charge Superintendents in some cases did not get in touch or work in harmony with the Mill Census officers. On this occasion the Municipal Secretary personally visited every mill and instructed the Enumerators and helped them where necessary. Some mills were visited three or four times by the Secretary, and in addition the Charge Superintendents visited most of them. * * * I am happy to be able to report that, except in one case, a mill owned by a Mussalman and managed by a Eurasian,
— APPENDICES. XI not the slightest difficulty was experienced at the mills, and thanks are due to the firms who so readily and cheerfully performed an onerous public duty with great success at a time when the milling season was at its height. In paragraph 2 I have already mentioned Mr- Burke, Superintendent of Police, for special commendation. Captain Williams, Health Officer, and Messrs. Wales, Nelson and Vinton also did good work, while 1 consider the thanks of Government are due to Mr. Short for his able and energetic supervision throughout the operations. His experience, acquired during the Census of 1891, proved of great value, and no doubt materially conduced to the work being smoothly and efficiently performed. 10.

Remuneration of Charge Superintendent Remuneration to 14 Supervisors @ Rs. 30 Remuneration to 552 Enumerators @ Rs. 20 Remuneration to 3 Enumerators @ Rs. 15 Remuneration to 1 Enumerator @ Rs. 10 Remuneration to 8 Enumerators @ Rs. 5 Office establishment General contingencies
