In 1907 no enumeration was made, and a comparison (see below) of the percentages of the
different sizes of tenements in 1906, and in each of the years 1908.10, shows that that omission
had a distinct effect in lowering the standard of housing. Such view is confirmed by the changes
which have taken place in the percentages recorded in the last three years, and may be taken as
evidence of the desirability of making such enumerations systematically each year.
Percentages of all tenements enumerated.

Last year's proportions are not strictly comparable with those of the earlier years, owing to
the alterations in the tabulation mentioned above.
