TO THE VESTRY OF THE
PARISH OF LAMBETH,
1893.
THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
Being a Report for the Year 1893 on the Vital and Sanitary
Statistics of the Parish of Lambeth.
In pursuance of the provisions of the Metropolis Local Management
Act, 25 and 26 Vict., Cap. 102, Sec. 43, I herewith lay
before your Vestry a Report for the year 1893, upon the Vital and
Sanitary Statistics of the Parish of Lambeth.
The population of the Parish of Lambeth, estimated in the
month of June, 1893, is represented by 279,924 persons. The
calculation is based on the ratio of increase observed in the period
of ten years intervening between the last census and the preceding
one. The annual increment thus determined is 0.85 per
cent. Comparing this estimate with the result of a calculation
based on the number of inhabited houses, there is no material
difference in the figures.
