Census, 1911. Industrial Statistics.

Registrar-General’s Office, Wellington, 7th May, 1912.

THE following tables relating to Census industrial statistics are published, in continuation of similar tables in the previous week’s Gazette, for general information. To avoid misunderstanding it should be mentioned that these tables do not purport to include all “factories” registered under the Factories Act. The tables, as in previous Census collections, only show the results of returns collected from manufacturers and works employing over two hands. In a number of cases where work was carried on by the same manufacturer in separate buildings a considerable distance from one another, each building would be registered as a distinct “factory,” but only one Census return would be furnished. For instance, in the case of a butter-factory with, say, a dozen or more creameries separately and supplying cream, each creamery would be registered as a separate “factory,” but the particulars for all would be included in one Census return. The present collection has followed as closely as possible the lines of previous Census collections.

Government Statistician.
