1. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Registrar-General estimates the population of the
Borough (up to the middle of 1923) at 308,500, and it is upon this
figure that the death and birth-rates are calculated throughout
the Report, this estimated population being based on the adjusted
1921 figures, after allowance for the varying rate of natural increase
as evidenced by the births and deaths in the Borough and of
migration as indicated from other sources of information such
as the changes in the numbers on the Parliamentary Register
and the migration returns obtained by the Board of Trade. The
various estimates to the middle of the year 1923 are as follow for
the 12 Wards, the 5 Registration Sub-Districts and the 4 Parliamentary
Divisions (the estimations having been made in the
Registrar-General's Office) :—
