schedules by a roll call and add particulars in respect of all persons 
who were not on the estate during the preliminary enumeration, but 
slept there on the night of the ioth March, and should excise all en- 
tries in respect of persons resident on the estate during preliminary 
enumeration, but who did not sleep on the estate on the night of the 
10th March. 
During the final enumeration by the manager (or Assistant 
Managers) all houses on the estate should be searched to see that no 
one escaped enumeration. 
The manager would then be required to sign the schedules and 
forward them, without delay, to the Assistant Superintendent of 
Census, that is the District Officer, for the District within which the 
estate was situated. Rules for the enumeration of estate population 
and specimen schedules properly filled in would be issued to estate 
managers with the householders' Schedules about the middle of 
February, 19 II. 
The Meeting then adjourns (at I-15 p.m.) for a tiffin interval, and 
resumes the sitting at 2-30 p.m. 
10. CHINESE LABOUR. 
The Secretary reads out the following letters : 
Chinese Protectorate, 
P. of C. 619/10. Singapore, 23rd September, 1910. 
Gentlemen, — I have the honor to enclose a copy of the form of 
contract to labour approved by His Excellency the Governor in 
Council for use under the Chinese Immigrants Ordinance, 1902, as it 
is about to be amended. 
2. The Bill to amend this Ordinance has been published in the 
Government Gazette, and will probably become law about the 6th 
October., Similar legislation is also in contemplation in the Federated 
Malay States. 
3. The enclosed form of Contract, with the addition of certain 
clauses (providing for the return of the laborers on determination of 
the contract to the Colony or China as the case may be, and for 
the cancellation of the Chinese Immigrants' contract on the terms laid 
down by section 32 of the Chinese Immigrants’ Ordinance) will pro- 
bably be approved for use under the Emigration Ordinance, 1910, 
which will soon be brought into force. 
4. In the case of emigrants who do not also come under the 
“ Chinese Immigrants Ordinance ” there will be standard varieties of 
this form of contract, similar to those in use at present.
