    The County Annual Report has for the year 1921, been arranged in accordance with this instruction and many of the statistical tables hitherto compiled have been omitted. GENERAL STATISTICS. Area (acres) 345,048. Population (1921) 358,331. Rateable value, .£1,733,983. Sum represented by a penny rate, £6,662. Number of inhabited houses (1921), and number of families or separate occupiers (1921).—At the time of writing this report, the volume of the Registrar-General upon thei 1921 Census, which contains the information required by the Ministry of Health under these headings has not' been published. It has been ascertained that the unrevised figures may be obtained upon the payment of the sum of 15/-. In view of the fact that the County Council supply the various Government Departments with any information they require concerning the County free of cost, it is deemed unreasonable to pay the fee demanded, and the figures are therefore omitted.
