Preface.
The Statistical Yearbook of Norway for 1953 follows the general pattern
of recent years as regards content and sequence of tables.
Two new tables have been added, namely: Causes of death among children
under 5 years of age 1951 (table 48), and joint stock companies by industry,
building companies, co-operative associations, savings banks and municipalities
according to central government tax assessments 1951,52 (table 309).
The following tables in the 1952 yearbook have been omitted in this issue
(table numbers refer to the 1952 issue): Crude birth rates 1911-1950 (table 29),
death rates 1911-1950 (table 30), mortality of all forms of tuberculosis and
pulmonary tuberculosis 1921-1950 (table 49), farmers' assets and debt, and
debt percentage (table 96), Norwegian fisheries 1939 and 1946-1950 (table 114),
number of motor-cars, motor-cycles and motor-car routes 1935 1951 (table 168),
and operations of the Bank of Norway 1939 and 1948 1951 (table 196).
Following the established practice, the international tables have been prepared
in co-operation with the other Scandinavian central statistical offices.
