If it is found that any subdivisions are
practically too large for enumeration within
the time allowed, after making full provis-s
ion Tor all reasonable contingencies. Mar
shals will have no delicacy or hesitation in.
at once providing for new subdivisions, to
be formed out of those previously assigned.
No considerations must be allowed to inter-
fere with this duty, and in deciding upon
the capabilities OF enumeration, reference
must be had not only to the area Of the sab
divisions and their absolute population, bnt
also to the efficiency of the individual
as determined by their work thus
far. Marshals are requested to report as
as possible the progress of the
work in their respective districts. When
ever It is found to &c convenient to send for.
ward returns upon any schoduie IN consld-s
cradle numbers, a. may be the case with
large cities, every two or three weeks, Mar
shals are requested to do 80, using one or
more Of the boxes furnished them.
This win be done both for the purpose of
expediting work at the census office, aHd to
prevent too great an accumulation of ma
tsrial at the Marshal's Office. vycR 49, $50
