<p>Before filling up the paper all the instructions printed in the heading and on the back of the schedule should be carefully read.</p>
<p>This paper will be called for on Monday, April 6th, by the appointed enumerator, and it is necessary that you should have the answers written in the proper columns early on the morning of that day in order that he may not be delayed.
