    Medical Officer’s Report. To the Chairman and Members of the Wembley Urban District Council. Gentlemen, I have the honour to present my Tenth Annual Report of the Health and Sanitary condition of the Wembley Urban District for the year 1904. POPULATION. The population of the District in the middle of that year was estimated to be 5,200. NEW HOUSES. During 1904 you passed plans for 130 new houses, of which about 70 have been occupied. AREA. The area of the District is 4,564 acres. THE BIRTH RATE. The Registrar of Births has forwarded a list of 144 births that occurred in the District in 1904—73 boys, 71 girls. Estimating the population as 5,200 the birth-rate per 1,000 is 27.7—a fair average, though slightly less than in 1903. Two factors tend to keep up your birth-rate; one the advent to the locality of an abnormal number of newly-married couples; the other that the working classes are in the majority.
