COUNTY COUNCILLORS AND BURGH COMMISSIONERS.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
I have the honour to present for your consideration
my Annual Report as Medical Officer for the County and Burghs for
the year 1891.
The County by the alterations of the Boundaries Commissions has
been considerably changed, and in consequence it is difficult to ascertain
the exact acreage within the new boundary, but as far as I can make
out there are 33,832 acres. There is the same difficulty in ascertaining
the exact population, from the transference of portions from Stirling
into Clackmannan, and from Clackmannan into Stirling, but as near as
I can make out, the population within the County is 33,011, distributed
as follows:-

[table inserted]

From the Census Returns (made on former area) we find that there
were 6,220 families, living in 5,767 houses, with 17,212 rooms in all.
In Clackmannanshire there is a mean of 1.6 persons to room with one
window, in Fifeshire 1.4, and in Kinross-shire, 1.0.
The complete details of the Census are not yet issued, but the
following abstracts from the Census of 1881, will be interesting to
compare with those of 1891 when they are issued.
