HORNSEY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Hornsey Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report dealing with the
sanitary condition of this District for the year 1898. In the Quarterly
Reports for the same period the number of inhabitants has been
estimated at 70,054, being an increase of 4,972 over that for the
previous year. At the middle of the year 1897 the number of inhabited
houses in the District was 10,847 giving a population of
65,082; whereas at the middle of 1898 the number of the houses had
increased by 828, giving in round figures a population of 70,054.
The increase in the Wards has been greatest in the Hornsey and least in the Crouch End Ward, but each Ward shows an increase as will be seen from the following table:—
