In this Report, and in the four quarterly Reports issued during the year,
the statistics given are based on an estimated population calculated according
to the method of the Registrar-General.
According to this method the population of this district at the middle of
the year 1905 was,
Heston 11405
Isleworth 21788
Total 33194
This gives a total estimated increase of population since the middle of
1904 of 564.
Mr. H. J. Baker, the Clerk to the Council, has made an estimate according
to the second method, and calculates that at the middle of the year 1905, the
population of the district was 35060 (Heston 11654 and Isleworth 23406). The
difference between this number and his estimate for the previous year gives an
estimated total increase in the population of 785.
Of the two estimates it is practically certain that Mr. Baker's is the more
accurate, and in the following pages corrected figures are given based on the
larger estimate of population in addition to the official ones, for the purpose of
comparison.
