Annual Report, 1911.

London, W.
February 19TH, 19x2.
To the Chairman and Members of the Harrow Urban
District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Report for
the year ending December 31st, 1911.
POPULATION.
The population at the census taken in April was
17,076:—Males, 7,847 ; Females, 9,229.
As the census returns will not be completed until
the middle of this year, I am unable to give the number
of occupied houses and flats.
The Registrar General informs me:—
"That there were 3,832 separate occupiers in"
"April last."
"The Urban District contains parts of the Eccle-"
"siastical Parishes of Roxeth (Christ Church), Greenhill"
"(St John the Baptist), Harrow-on-the-Hill (St. Mary),"
"containing respectively 4,036, 6,604, and 6,437''
" persons."
BIRTH RATE.
The births of 182 boys and 170 girls were registered
during the year, making a total of 352, as compared
with 376 in 1910. This gives a birth rate of
20.6 per thousand.
The average for the previous five years is 22.3.
The birth rate for England and Wales in 1911
was 24.4, and for the 136 small towns 234.
