80,693 males and 93,212 females in the estimated population.
Births.
2,766 births were registered in the City in the 52 weeks ending
December 29th, 1906. On examination, 42 births were found to be
referable to other districts. Through the courtesy of the Committees of
Management of Endell Street, York Eoad, and the Queen Charlotte
Lying.in Institutions, of the Master of the Strand Workhouse at
Edmonton, and the Steward of St. George's Workhouse, Fulham Eoad,
and of other Medical Officers, I have ascertained that 207 children were
born in these institutions, the home address of whose mothers was in
Westminster. The net number of births was, therefore, 2,931, as compared
with 3,120 in 1905; the birth.rate, uncorrected, was 15.9,
corrected 16.89per 1,000 persons. The birth.rate for the County of
London for 1906 was 26.7, the rate during the ten preceding years
averaged 29.0 per 1,000. The birth.rate in England and Wales was
27'0, the average of the preceding ten years being 28.7.
