Census of India — City of Calcutta: Report

1923

The original jurisdiction of the High Court and the Presidency Magitrates of Calcutta does not extend even over the whole area administered by the Corporation much to the south and south-east being within the jurisdition of the Magistrate of the 24-Parganas. [...] The opening up of these improvements in the city and the extension of the tramway system made for the increase of population in the eastern and southern suburbs which is the oustanding feature that was disclosed by the census of 1911. [...] In the Fort in the Port and on the Canals there has been a large decrease to be attributed in the case of the Port to the slump in trade which prevailed at the time of the census. [...] Part of the decrease in the case of the Canals is due to the fact that in 1911 the figures included all the Canal population whereas the present figures refer only to Canals within or forming the boundaries of the city while the persons found on Canals in the suburbs are included in the suburban population. [...] The increase in the death-rate in the suburbs becomes still more striking when allowance is made for the fact that the rates are quoted per mule of the population at the beginning of each decade instead of per mille of the population in each year and it is remembered that the population of the suburbs increased very much in the decade 1901-1911.
