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 1926
are as follow for the 12 Wards, the 5 Registration Sub-Districts and
