mYELLINGS AND FAMILlES

A dwelling,forcensus pUTposes, is a place in which one or more per-
sans have theil' permanent domicile. It may be a tent, a boat, a railway
coach or any kind of shelter used as a regular lodging. On the other
hand, an entire apartment house, contaiuing many families constitutes
only one dwelling. A ra\\' of hou ses, divided by inner waJJs, from the
celJar to the garret and having its main entrances on the street, is con-
sidered as containing as many dwelJings as there are separate entrances,
whereas a house containing two Bats, one above the other is one· single
dwelling, although ea,ch lodging may have a separate entrance. Those
who had temporary quarters at the time of the census, such as mine
workers or lumbermen were registel'ed at the place where they were
staying.
For census purposes, the family is "a group of persons whether
related or not, living together and generally sitting down at the same
table". In this particular sense, one single persan, a clerk lodging in a
store would constitute a family. The boarders and the staff of a hotel
or of a boarding house constitute a single family, as also do the inmates
of a penitentiary or charitable institution. The family circle, which
difiers from the economic family, may comprise servants) boarders or
dependent relatives in addition ta tbe members who are the exclusive
components of the family.
