 consistent increase in population 

 throughout the period. A very sharp 

 rise in employment took place be-

 lacking between 1905 and 1920.

Winchester. From the incom- 

 plete figures, it appears that popula- 

 tion has been constantly on the in-

 was at the highest in 1905. A con-

 during the depression period.
