WEN 002
Medical Officer's Report.
To the Chairman and Members of the Wembley Urban District
Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present my Annual Report of
the Health and Sanitary Condition of the Wembley Urban
District for the year 1902.
It is not a very difficult matter to estimate the population
of the District during the year 1902, being so near the taking
of the Census. With these figures, and making allowance for
the new houses occupied, and the advent of a considerable
number of employees on the Great Central Railway Works,
4,800 is a proper estimate for the middle of 1902.
The area of the District is 4,282 acres, less now than an
acre to each person. Wembley is still the most sparsely-populated
of all the Middlesex districts.
In 1900 85 new houses were erected.
,, 1901 59 „ ,, ,, ,,
,, 1902 150 „ ,, ,, ,,
VITAL STATISTICS.
The Registrar of Deaths has forwarded to me lists of 47
deaths which occurred in the Wembley District during 1902.
17 occurred in the first quarter.
