POPULATION.
The Registrar-General, in computing his estimate of population for
midyear, 1930, intends to take into account the populations as
ascertained hy the 1931 census; the 1930 estimate will therefore not be
available before the end of June.
Under these circumstances the various rates in my report have been
calculated on the estimated population in 1929, viz.: 178,500.
Tho population of the several divisions of the Borough at each
Census since 1841, and also the estimated population for 1922, 1923, 1924,
1925, 1926, 19:27, 1928 and 1929 are as follows: —
Newington.
St. George's.
St. Saviour's and
Ohristohuroh.
