The Genius figures for the separate wards,
together with the number of separate occupiers, are
not yet available, They may be taken as the same as
the separate number of assessments.
In a memorandum from the Registrar-General it is
pointed out that the Consua of 1921 was taken at a
time when soma holiday movement was already in progress
and that this movement was reflected in the consus
Returns. The Registrar has therefore estimated the
population of friern barnet at the middle of the years
aa 17510. For the purpose of compiling the Death and
Birth Returns, which are based on population, I am
using the figure 14500, whioh is the nearest figure we
can arrive at for the District alone.
