    ST. FAITHS UNION. Estimated Population: 11,075. ANNUAL REPORT OF THK MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH (SYDNEY H. LONG, M.D.,) FOB THE YEAR 1908. In November, 1907, a certain portion of the two Parishes of Sprowston and Catton were taken over by the City of Norwich. When getting out statistics for my Annual Report for 1907 I agreed with the Medical Officer of Health for Norwich that it would avoid confusion if we worked on the supposition that the added areas were transferred at the end of the year, and on these lines I got out my Report for 1907. My statistics for this year (1908) are, of course, entirely exclusive of the two added areas, the estimated population of which was, at the time of their being taken over, as follows :— Sprowston ... ... 1522 Catton ... ... ... 604 Total ... 2126 BIRTHS. There were 219 Births registered in the Union during the past year. This is equivalent to a Birth-rate of 19*7 as compared with 22*3 of last year, and with 24*6 the average of the past ten years.
