it cannot he too strongly insisted on that for all practical purposes
the two constituent parishes form one district and one population.
No comparison based on any figures given in this Report as to
one being in any respect better or worse than the other from the
public health point of view will be of the slightest value. The
details given in Table II. and on page 13 have been included
during the last few years, partly from mere curiosity, and partly
for possible future use if at any time the two parishes should be
separated for sanitary administration purposes, and an Inspector
of N uisances appointed for each.
Mr. H. J. Baker, the Clerk to the Council, has made a
separate estimate of the population by which he arrives at a total
5428 more than the official one given above. He based his
calculation both on the number of new houses built during the
previous few years and on the number of houses in the whole
district that, so far as known, were inhabited during the year.

In comparing the two sets of figures it will be seen that there
is a greater difference between those relating to Isleworth than
between those of Heston. Mr. Baker's estimate is possibly too
high, but it is probably more nearly correct than the other.
In order that the effect of the two varying estimates may be
made perfectly clear, separate vital statistics have been worked
out for each of them, and will be found in the following pages.
