Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Twenty-first

Appended to the Report are four tables received from
the Local Government Board.
Table I comprises the vital statistics of the whole district
for 1904, and previous years extending from 1894.
Table II consists of the Births and Deaths registered, and
with a view to give more concise information, ruch table has

the population at 26,000, comprising 5,889 in the South Ward,
7,165 in the East Ward, 7,688 in the West Ward, and 5,258 in
the Central Ward.
