A considerable portion of this District is taken up by Crown Land, e.g., Windsor Forest, and much of the remainder by large private estates, especially in the neighbourhood of Ascot. The District is therefore residential rather than agricultural in nature. In the Report for 1925 (page 121) an analysis of, and comment upon, the Census Returns was given showing the nature of employment and general social characters of the District. Enquiry at the local Labour Exchange shows that there is very little unemployment in this neighbourhood. T • -o- xi. r Legitimate Live Births I EXTRACTS FROM VITAL STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR 1939.
