REPORT
Of the Medical Officer of Health
for the Year 1910.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present the Annual Report on the health
and sanitary condition of the Borough for the year 1910.
Population.
The population of the Borough as estimated by the Registrar
General was, in the middle of 1910, 305,838, an increase of 8,192
compared with 1909, but this estimate, in my opinion, is much
under the actual population.
The population on which all the rates in this Report are
calculated has been obtained in a similar manner to that adopted
since 1905, by dividing the number of inhabitants at the Cerisus,
1901, by the number of rated hereditaments in that year.
The factor thus obtained represents the number of persons
per rated hereditament, by which the number of hereditaments in
the middle of 1910 is multiplied.
