The compensation TO be paid enum-

of March, 1899, and minimum rate
of &c for each death, 15c for each farm
and zoe for each establishment of pro
ductive industry is provided for all
subdivisions where such allowance
shall be deemed sufficient. In other
subdivisions where higher per capita
rates are to be paid, according to the
difficulty of enumeratiOns, the maxi
mum rate will not exceed &c for each
living inhabitant, &c for each death,
zoe for each farm, and SOC for each
establishment of productive industry,
while in subdivisions where per diem
rates are established, having refer
ence to the nature of the region to be
canvassed and the density or sparse
ness of settlement, or other consider
atiOns pertinent thereto, the cOmpen-
satiOn allowed to enumeratOrs will not
be less than So nor more than So per
day of ten hours actual field work
each. Except in extreme cases, no
claim for mileage or travelling eXpens-
es will be allowed to any enumerator,
and then only when authority has been
previously granted by the director of
the census.
Any enumerator who, without justi-
fable cause, neglects or refuses to
perform the duties of his position,

qualifying for the work, or who COM
municates to any person not author
lied to receive the same any inform a
ton gained by him in the performance
of his duties, will be subject to fine
of $500, as provided in section 21 of the
census act.

ton, since it would be Improbable for
them to discharge their duties effect
lively at the rate of &c or SC q name
