ANNUAL REPORT

medical officer of health
FOR THE YEAR 1922.
Municipal Offices,
Acton, W.3.
May, 1923.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Acton.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the Annual Report on the work carried out
by the Public Health Department, together with the Vital Statistics
for the year 1922.
The report is arranged in accordance with the suggestions
issued last year by the Ministry of Health, and as far as possible,
in the form of Tables. As "Survey Reports" are only normally
required every five years, certain information which was included
in former reports is omitted.
Population.—The Registrar-General estimates the population
at the end of June, 1922, to be 62,390.
In last year's report the procedure adopted in adjusting the
local census populations of 1921, in order to arrive at estimates
of resident populations was described.
The estimated population as at June 30th, 1922, has been
based on the adjusted 1921 figures after allowance for the varying
rates of natural increase as evidenced by the births and deaths
in the area and of migration as indicated in the numbers on the
Parliamentary Register and the migration returns obtained by
the Board of Trade.
The number of Parliamentary electors on the Register in the
Autumn of 1922 was as follows:
men women total
16,477 13,948 30,425
