URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
Area, 2,197 Statute Acres.
Estimated Population, 1895, 7,807.
Population (Census 1891), 5,725; Area, 1,000 Statute Acres.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1895.
32, Harley Street, Cavendish Square, W.,
February 16th, 1896.
To the Chairman of the Harrow Urban District Council.
Sir,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report
for the year ending 31st December, 1895.
The estimated population to the middle of the year 1895 is
7,807.
As the Greenhill addition has only been a portion of the
District for one quarter of the year, I have only taken its population
at one-fourth the estimated number.
During the year there were registered 73 deaths and 169 births.
This gives a death-rate of 9 3 per 1,000, and a birth-rate of 21.6
per 1,000.
The age distribution of deaths is as follows:
Under 1 year 18
Over 1 year and under 5 10 under 5 years 28
„ 5 years „ 151
„ 15 „ „ 25 2
„ 65 17 over 5 years 45
