    Co the Chairman and members of the Radnorshire County Council. I have the honour to present my sixteenth Annual Report on the Health Administration of the County for the year 1936. POPULATION. (Page 7). The population estimated for 1936, by the Registrar General, is given on page 7 ; I consider that of Llandrindod Wells to be rather an under estimate ; this town is favourably situated as a Health Resort and Residential Town. Information is given in regard to population at certain age periods. OCCUPATIONS.—Information, based on the 1931 Census, is given on pages 9 to 21. Reference is made to Juvenile employ- ment on pages 17 and 20. Radnorshire stands high in regard to Agricultural Occupations. BIRTH Rate.—(Pages 21 & 22). The rate for the Coun- ty was 15'7 (urban districts 14'0, rural 16‘4); the rate for England and Wales was 14‘8. Information in regard to Marriage Rate was given on pages 9-11 of my Annual Report for 1935, and in connection with Fertility Rate on pages 11-14 of the same Report. DEATH Rate.—(Pages 24-26). The death rate for the County (corrected by the Comparative Mortality Figure ’85) wasl2’8 compared with 12‘1 for England and Wales. Information in regard to death rates, etc., in connection with Early Childhood, School Age, and Adolescence, was given on pages 15, 32, and 34 respectively of my Annual Report for 1934, and for ages 25-45, 45-65, 65-75, and 75 years and upwards, on pages 24, 26 and 27, Annual Report for 1935.
