The population of the Borough on the ist Ju]}^ 1912, was estimated b}^ the Registrar-General to be 120,891, being an increase of 1,879 since the census taken on the 2nd April, 1911. This estimate is based on the assumption of an annual rate of : increase equal to the mean rate in the period 1901-1911. This method has not proved very satisfactory/ in the past j in regard to Southampton, which, owing to being chiefly dependent ; on its Shipping trade the rate of increase varies considerably from year to year. The actual increase in the population is probably more tlian that given by the method shown above, judging from the number ' of houses that have been completed for occupation since the 1 census.
