For statistical purposes it is necessary to estimate the population
at the middle of each year; the usual mode of arriving at
these figures is to assume that the annual increase is at the same
rate as that which occurred between the two last census, due
allowance being made for the increase of population during
that decade. The Registrar General in his quarterly reports has
estimated the population of the Borough of Richmond for 1905
to be 33,837.
