Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan
Borough of Fulham.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report
on the Vital Statistics and the conditions affecting the health
of the Borough for the year 1906.
The statistics of births, deaths and infectious diseases relate
to the 52 weeks ending December 29th, 1906.
POPULATION.
The population of Fulham as enumerated at the Census
taken on April 6th, 1901, was 137,289, having increased
from 113,781 during the previous five years.
Phe population in the middle of 1906, estimated in the
usual way on the assumption that the rate of increase which
prevailed between 1896 and 1901, has been maintained since,
was 161,965, but as during the last two years there has been
a marked falling off in the number of new houses built, consequent
upon most of the available land being now occupied,
this is probably too high a figure, and the statistics in this
report are based upon an estimated population of 159,350.
The following table shows the increase of the population
of the Borough during the past 55 years:—
