(a) The Civic District comprises all the township of Galway.
"No-rE.—The
plan of classification in the foregoing Tables is the same as that adopted in former Censuses, and may be thus described :— Tbe value or condition of a house, as to its quality, may be considered to depend mainly on— 1st, its extent, as shown by the number of rooms; 2nd, its quality, as shown by the number of its windows; and 3rd, its solidity or durability, as shown by
the material of its walls and roof.
If numbers be adopted to express the position of every house in a scale of each of these elements, and if the numbers thus obtained for every house be added together, a new series of numbers will be produced, giving the position of each house m a scale compounded of all the elements, i.e.,
their actual state.
..,,,_.„.#
* ,%.

,, Four classes have been adopted, and the result is, that in the lowest of the four classes are comprised houses principally built of mud or other perishable
material, and having only one room and window •, in the third a better description of bouse, varying from one to four rooms and windows ; m the second what might be considered a good farm house, having from five to nine rooms and windows; and in the first class all houses of a better description than the preceding.
The accommodation which the houses afford has also been arranged under four classes, viz.
:—
First class accommodation, consisting of 1st class houses occupied by one family.
....
xv t -t-Second class accommodation, consisting of 2nd class houses occupied by one family, or of 1st class houses occupied by two or three lamilies.
Third class accommodation, comprising 3rd class houses with one family each, or 2nd class houses with two or three families, or 1st class houses occupied by four or five families.
, ,
....
.
...
, „.
Fourth class accommodation includes all 4th class houses, 3rd class houses with more than one family, 2nd class houses with four or more families, and 1st class houses inhabited by six or more families.
