Perusal of this Table will demonstrate that a steady
growth of the District has been maintained, Manor House and
Kent House Wards being the most populous. The increase
of the people is due to an increased number of inhabited
houses and not to an increase of persons per inhabited house.
Beckenham is still growing and there is an estimated
increase of the population of 252 persons.
Upon the estimated population of 33,061, calculations
have been made for the various Vital Statistics for the year
1908.
Births.
During the year in review 688 births have been registered,
as against 664 for the preceding year: of this number 378
were Males and 310 Females. Thirteen infants were declared
