BIRTHS.
Table VII. gives particulars of the births registered and
notified in the district, and the births belonging to the district
which have occurred and been registered outside the district.
The total number of births are those registered during the
calendar year and are corrected for inward and outward
transfers. This number is 1026, and the figure is obtained at the
end of the year from the Registrar General, and is equal to a
birth-rate of 15.77 per 1000 inhabitants. This rate is slightly
higher than that of 1928, but lower than that of England and
Wales and of the 107 great towns, of which Acton is one. The
birth-rate is exactly the same as that of the County of London.
