(a) The Civic Districts comprise all Municipal Boroughs, To-wnships, and Towns of 2,000 inhabitants and upwards. 

Note.—The 
plan of classification in the foregoing Tahle is the same as that adopted in former Censuses and may he thus described :— 

The value or condition of a house, as to its quality, may be considered to depend mainly on— 

1st, its extent, as shown by the numher 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, ana u ine 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 scan? 
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, having only one room and window ; in the third a better description of house, varying from one to four rooms a*nd windows ; in the second, wnau might be considered a good farm house, having from five to nine rooms and windows; and in the first class of all houses of a better description tnan mi, 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. 
S?.°°?"-L01aciS 
accommodation consisting of 2nd class houses, occupied by one family, or of 1st class houses, occupied by two or three families. 
,, 

" 

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 oy 

four or Ave families. 
, Fourth Class accommodation includes all 4th olass houses, 3rd class houses with more than one family, 2nd class houses with four or more families, and firsc 

class houses inhabited by six or more families.
