final paragraph of the above-mentioned Section 6. When one sheet of the form is not sufficient to carry the record of a county or city apportionment, additional sheets will be used. The sheets pertaining to each State or Territorial apportionment will be numbered consecutively, beginning with the number next following that of the last sheet of Form No. 301a pertaining to the same State or Territorial apportionment.

SEC. 3. In connection with State and Territorial apportionments the following rules are to be observed with reference to entries on line 1 of this form, viz: 1. In column 1 enter the name of the county or city for which the apportionment is to be made.

2. In column 2 enter the number appearing in column 2, opposite the name of the county or city, on the State or Territorial apportionment sheet (Form No. 301a). That number represents the population of the county or city as determined by the Governor.

3. In column 3 enter the number 1.000000.

4. In column 9 enter the number representing the net quota of the county or city, that is, the net quota (column 9) apportioned to the county or city on the State or Territorial apportionment sheet (Form No. 301a).

5. On all sheets except the first employed in connection with the apportionment for any particular county or city, line 1 will be left blank.

6. In connection with the apportionment for the District of Columbia the same rules with reference to entries on line 1 of the form are to be observed, except that the data for the entries in columns 2 and 9 will be obtained from the Federal apportionment sheet.

SEC. 4. The manner of determining entries to be made on lines other than linc 1 of one or more sheets of this form employed in making the apportionment for any particular county or city is set forth in this section.

1. In column 1 enter the designation of each division of the county or city for which a net quota is to be determined.

2. In column 2, opposite the designation of each division, enter the number representing the population of that division as determined by the Governor or the Commissioners, as the case may require. The aggregate of these entries should equal the number representing the population of the county or city as entered in column 2 on line 1 of the first sheet. If this aggregate does not equal the population of the county or city, the numbers representing the population of the various divisions should be scaled up or down proportionately to bring about such equality.

3. The entry to be made in column 3 opposite the designation of each division should be determined as follows: Divide the number entered in column 2 to represent the population of the division under consideration by the number entered in column 2, on line 1 of the first sheet, to represent the population of the county or city. The resulting quotient will be a decimal, which should be carried out to six places and entered, subject to correction or adjustment, in column 3 opposite the designation of the division under consideration. If, after entering a quotient in column 3 after the designation of each division, the sum of all the quotients is less than 1.000000, an adjustment should be made. To accomplish this adjustment increase by 1 the last (sixth) digit of a sufficient number of the quotients in column 3 to make the sum of all the quotients in that column equal to 1.000000. In doing this, increase first the last (sixth) digit of that quotient the continuation of which beyond six places would be the greatest; next increase the last (sixth) digit of that quotient the continuation of which beyond six places would be the next greatest; and so on until the sum of all the quotients in the column is equal to 1.000000. If the sum of all the quotients in column 3 exceeds 1.000000, or is considerably

less than 1.000000, an error in determining one or more of the quotients is indicated and this error should be eliminated by revising the divisions before undertaking to make an adjustment.

4. In column 9, enter opposite the designation of each division the integral (whole number) product obtained by multiplying the number appearing in column 9, on line 1 of the first sheet, which represents the net quota of the county or city, by the decimal entered in column 3 opposite the designation of the division under consideration. If, after entering in column 9, after the designation of each division, the above-mentioned product, the sum of all such products is not equal to the net quota of the county or city, an adjustment should be made. To accomplish this adjustment increase by 1 a sufficient number of the above-mentioned products to make the sum of all such products in the column equal to the net quota of the county or city. In doing this, increase first that product which carried the greatest decimal; next increase that product which carried the next greatest decimal; and so on until the sum of all the products entered in column 9 is equal to the net quota of such county or city. If the sum of all the products originally entered in column 9 exceeds, or is considerably less than, the net quota of the county or city, an error in determining one or more of the products is indicated, and this error should be eliminated by revising the multiplications before undertaking to make an adjustment.
