POPULATION
During the year 1925 the estimated population as supplied by the
Registrar-General has increased by 1,286, being 189,000 as against 187,714
in the previous year.
All the rates in my report are calculated on the former figure.
It will be seen from the subjoined table that the greater increase in
population has taken place in the Newington District, wiih a lesser
increase in St. George's, Christchurcli and St. Saviour's Wards.
The total increase of 1,286 persons in this already congested Borough
does not tend to abate the overcrowding which is one of its outstanding
features.
The Bye-laws in legard to Houses Let in Lodgings foreshadowed in
last year's report have not yet materialised, and these matters are still in
abeyauce.
The population of the several divisions of the Borough at each
Census since 1841, and also the estimated population for 1922, 1923, 1924
and 1925 are as follows:—
Newington. St. George's. St. Saviour's and Christchurch.
