The estimated population of 22,210 upon which all these statistics is based is for the whole district. This shows no sign of increasing, and the downward tendency still continues. There were registered throughout the entire district 603 births (310 males and 293 females) and of these 26 (14 males and 12 females) were illegitimate.
