REPORT.
Addison House,
Upper Edmonton.
March 10th, 1896.
To the Members of the Edmonton Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present you with the report on the
Vital Statistics and Sanitary Work of your district for the year
1895, being my fifth annual report as Medical Officer of Health.
Vital Statistics.
I append to my report the two tables:—"A" of deaths,
and " B " of population, births, and new cases of sickness, prescribed
by the Local Government Board, duly filled up.
Population.
The population of the district, exclusive of that of the
two Union Workhouses situated therein, was by census 1881,
13,065, and by census 1891,23,473; assuming that the same rate
of increase holds good, the population in June, 1895, would be
30,080, the calculation being made by means of the formula
P = p (1 + r)nth, where P = population required, p = population
at last census, n = number of years (in this case = 4.25)
since the last census was taken, and r — rate of increase per
unit per annum (in this case 060; so that 1 + r = 1060, a
result obtained by applying the formula above given to the two
last census returns.
