TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
of the
VESTRY OF ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER.
Reverend Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit the following Report
upon the Public Health of the Parish of St. James's, Westminster,
for the year 1890.
The figures given by the Census of 1891 are not yet
available, but it will probably appear that, since 1881, the
changes that have occurred in St. James's have caused a
considerable reduction in the resident population. In that
case a corresponding correction will have to be made in the
estimated death rates for recent years.
The Census of 1881 gives the District of the Parish of St.
James's as covering an area of 162 acres, and containing a
population of 29,865.
The Golden Square Sub.District appears as covering an
area of 54 acres, and containing a population of 11,585.
