I am informed by the Ministry of Health that the RegistrarGeneral,
in computing his estimate of population for mid-year
1930, intends to take into account the populations as ascertained
by the 1931 Census ; the 1930 estimate will therefore not be available
before the end of June.
The Ministry of Health suggest that the Report should not be
delayed for the mid-year 1930 population figure, but that the
Registrar-General's mid-year 1929 estimate of population should
be used and a statement to that effect included in the Report.
In accordance with this suggestion I am, therefore, using the
mid-year 1929 population figure for the purposes of computing
the various rates in this report.
