i. VITAL STATISTICS.
The Registrar-General estimates the population of the Borough
(up to the middle of 1927) at 307,700, and it is upon this figure that
the death-rates 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 1927 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) :—
