    To the Chairman and Memhers of the Wembley Urban District Council. Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit to you the fourteenth Annual Report of the Health and Sanitary condition of the Wembley Urban District during the year igo8. Population.—For the purposes of Statistics, the population of the whole District for that year was esti¬ mated at 9606, an increase on the previous year of 1303. At the last Census (igoi), the total population at at all ages was ... ... ... 4519 in 1905 ... ... ... 5800 in 1907 it exceeded... ... 8000 Estimating from these hgures and from the recent I rapid development of the District, we may predict that at the next Census the population will reach 13,000 or 14000, and in hve or six years may easily amount to 18,000 or 20,000. These hgures should be borne in mind in considering the future needs of the District. The recent increase has occurred chiefly in Wembley proper, though Alperton is beginning to show signs too of a more rapid growth—Sudbury and East Lane have only advanced slightly. Houses Occupied, Empty, Building.—On the last day of last year there were in the whole District nearly 1800 houses. Of these 142 were then unoccupied. In addition to these there were 103 houses in course of construction.
