and the proposed number of representatives, to 3. In
the "districts " within the metropolitan district of the
Registrar-general (as distinguished from the "parishes"),
the total number of houses amounts to 98,470 ; the
rateable value under the property tax, to 3,678,8621.,
the rateable value converted into the number of houses,
at the average value of 371. 7s. 2id. per'house, to 98,470,
the aggregate number to 196,940, the proposed number
of members at the metropolitan board to 15, and the
proposed number of members at the district board to
697. In order to base the claims to representation at
the metropolitan and district boards upon a joint consi-
deratiou of the total number, and of the rateable value
of the houses in each pariah or district, the rateable
values have been converted into numbers by dividing
the total rateable value of the houses in each parish or
district by the average value of the houses in the whole
of the parishes or districts. The number of houses at
the general average produced by this division, added to
the actual number of houses in the parish or district, is
the "aggregate number" shown above, as that which
determines the relative position of each parish or district.
Thus the average rental of houses in the "parishes" is
421. 17s. 9,1. The parish of St. Marylebone has 15,826
houses, with a rental of 1,168,657/. which rental would
be equal, at the above average of d/. 17s. 9d. per house,
to 27,250 houses—St. Marylebone receives, therefore,
for the actual number of houses, 15,826 ; and for the
rateable value of the same, 27,250, making an " aggre-
gate number" of 43,076. Toe same mode of computa-
tion is continued throughout the whole of the return.
The following is the number of members of the Metro-
politan Board of Works, to be elected by the various
