By the kindness of Mr. Farrow, I have been supplied
with the following information from the Census returns. I
understand they are not absolutely accurate, but are
sufficiently so for practical purposes.
One important fact appears out of these returns, and
that is the number of persons per house has fallen from 4.9
in 1901 to 4.3 in 1911. It is one which I did not expect, but
is a fact of some interest, and a subject for congratulation.
