Book excerpt: Excerpt from Census of Michigan, June 1, 1894: Instructions Enumerators (See section 5 and last sentence of section 9, census law.) The word enumerator, as used in section 5, includes also the assistant enumerator. The assistant enumerator after qualifying, is to visit personally during the month of June, each dwelling house in that part of the township or census district assigned him, and each family therein, etc., the same as required of the enumerator. Wherever necessary to carry out the intent and meaning of the law the word "enumerator" means also "assistant enumerator." The township board or common council, in appointing assistants, may designate the district or territory within which each assistant is to perform his duties; but in case this is not done by the township board or common council, then it is the duty of the enumerator to make such assignment of territory. The enumerator and assistants will not fail to note that they are to visit personally each dwelling house, etc., that is, each is to make the canvass of his own district himself. He cannot delegate his authority to any other person. He cannot do the work by proxy. They are to visit, not only each dwelling house and each family, but each individual living out of a family. Individuals living out of families, include all those persons, more numerous in cities than elsewhere, who have no certain, fixed place of abode. They may be found in lofts in public buildings, above stores, warehouses, factories, stables, and possibly during the warm weather of June while the census is being taken, may lodge in dry-goods boxes in the rear of business buildings, or in some other out-of-the-way place; it will also include persons living solitary in cabins, huts or tents; persons, inhabitants of this State, sleeping on boats, barges, etc., having no other usual place of abode, and persons in police stations having no homes. Of the classes just mentioned, the most important numerically, is the class of persons who occupy rooms in public buildings, or above stores, warehouses, factories, and stables. In order to reach such persons the enumerator will need not only to keep his eyes open to all indications of such casual residence, but to make inquiry both of the parties occupying the business portion of such buildings, and also of the police.
