District and to consist of the whole of Vauxhall and
Stockwell Wards, the population of which, in 1901, was
63,826;
5.—A Sub-District to be called and known as Brixton SubDistrict,
and to consist of the whole of Brixton and
Heme Hill Wards, the population of which, in 1901,
was 73,673;
6.—A Sub-District to be called and known as Norwood SubDistrict,
and to consist of the whole of Tulse Hill and
Norwood Wards, the population of which, in 1901, was
56.998.
It was represented to the Registrar-General that, if entire
Wards were taken to constitute the proposed Lambeth Church
and Keunington Sub-Districts, (a) the boundary between them
would not be so well understood as if it were made the centre
of Broad Street and Prince's Road, and (b) that Lambeth Workhouse
and Infirmary would be divided between the two SubDistricts.
For these reasons it has been decided to depart in
these instances from the general principle that each Sub-District
shall consist of an entire Ward or of entire Wards of Lambeth
Metropolitan Borough.
The Registrar-General's proposals received the entire concurrence
of the Lambeth Board of Guardians and of the Lambeth
Borough Council, and are adopted in the present 1907 Report.
