POPULATION.
The 1921 Census Population was returned by the Registrar-General
at 146,711.
The Treasurer's figure for the population at Midsummer, 1927—
162,000- as shown on page 11, has been taken as the basis of calculation
of the vital statistics.
The Registrar-General gives a lower figure—150,210.
The discrepancy points to the desirability of a Census being taken
at more frequent intervals.
RATEABLE VALUE.
The rateable value of the district in 1927 was £655,260, and a 1d.
Rate produced £2,570.
