houses erected in the district during the past five years:—
| year. | Estimated Population. | Number of New Houses Erected. |
|---|---|---|
| 1921 | 19,330 | 61 |
| 1922 | 19,520 | 25 |
| 1923 | 19,670 | 55 |
| 1924 | 19,660 | 134 |
| 1925 | 20,020 | 219 |
In spite of the very satisfactory progress in
building and the conversion of a number of the
larger houses in the district into flats, the Registrar
General's estimate of the population has only been
increased by 690 from 1921 to 1925, and his figures
would appear not to represent the true population of
the district
In 1924, when 134 new houses were erected, the
estimated population was actually decreased by 10,
and in 1925, when a further 219 houses were built, it
was only increased by 360.
