It is probable that Southall accounts for just about seven-eighths of the
totals. It will be noticed that the highest total occurred at the beginning of
January and the lowest at the beginning of September. The average is slightly
lower than it was for 1935 (1267 against 1384).
Growth of the District.
The following table is appended to show the progressive increase in
population of the district since 1883:—

separate houses and not, as with the others, to separate dwellings or tenements.
