Local Board, consisting of fifteen members and four
Wards, being replaced by the District Council with
twenty-one members and seven Wards.
As the census of 1891 dealt with the population
in the four Wards, it has not been found possible to
give the population of the new areas, as they were
at that time, and therefore no reference can be made
indicating the increase of each, but the progress of
the District generally has apparently made a greater
stride than hitherto, the estimated increase of population
being 5,620, nearly 900 more than the increase
of the previous year. From 1881 to 1891, the average
yearly increase was 3,365.
