ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
FOR THE YEAR 1917.
Council Offices,
Acton,
London, W,3.
To the Chairman and Members
of the Urban District Council of Acton.
Miss Smee and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Annual Report for the year 1917.
The Report is again condensed and presented in tabular
form.
Two estimates of the population are made by the
Registrar General—one for death-rate purposes and the
other for the birth-rate. The former is an estimate of the
civil population only, whilst the latter includes the men
on military service.
The civil population is estimated at 58,507, and the
population for birth-rate purposes is estimated at 65,219.
Both the estimates are approximately correct. Over
58,000 sugar cards were issued and there are over 7,000
Acton inhabitants on military duty.
