the records of the new area of Wembley Urban District
for the part of the year subsequent to the date of change.
The normal mid-1934 estimate of population for the
area as now constituted is 92,160, but, for use with the
composite statistics now supplied, a working population
figure modified to take account of the fact that the
records do not wholly relate to the entire year, has been
provided and fixed at 91,925."
SOCIAL CONDITIONS.
There has been no material change in the social conditions
of the district.
By far the greater number of the population of Wembley
are employed outside the district, which still maintains a
" dormitory " character.
In the district itself the largest employers of Labour are
Atcraft Works; General Electric Co.; Universal Furniture
Products, Ltd.; Wrigley Products, Ltd.; Wisemans; Wembley
Stadium and Empire Sports Arena; and the Glacier Metal Co.
The various railway companies are also large employers, and
in the newly acquired area of Kingsbury, General Motors,
Ltd.; Daimler, Ltd.; Windovers, Ltd.; Beardmore Motors; De
Havilland Aircraft; Desoutter, Ltd.; Frigidaire, Ltd.; Lamson
Paragon (Papercrafts); Phoenix Telephones, Ltd.
There are no local industries which appear to have a
deleterious effect on those engaged therein.
The Town Planning of Estates which have been
developed in the last few years, with its consequent restriction
of the number of houses per acre, cannot fail to have a
beneficial effect, not only upon our present population, but
upon future generations.
