regular inspections. In this way, the evil effects arising from
crowding and defective ventilation may be, in parr, counteracted.
Taking the Registration Sub-Districts (Table D), and the new
Wards (Table E), into which the Borough is sub-divided, the
corrected rates for 1903 will be found to vary between the Inner
and the Outer Districts as follows :—
1903.
Registration
Sub-Districts.
New Wards.
Inner.
Outer.
Inner.
Outer.
General Death-rate (corrected) 20.1 13.3 18.4 12.5
Zymotic Death-rate (corrected) 2.6 1.2 2.3 1.03
Of the New Wards, Tulse Hill has the lowest, and Bishop's the
highest, general and zymotic death-rates, whilst, of the Registration
Sub-Districts, Norwood has the lowest, and Waterloo the highest,
general death-rate, and Norwood the lowest, and Lambeth
Church 2nd the highest, zymotic death-rate.
It is only by sub-dividing the rates up in this way that it is
possible to see where the (sanitarily) unsatisfactory parts of the
Borough are situated, and where, consequently, most care and
attention are required at the hands of the Borough Council. In
this connection, Table E deals with the new Borough Wards
during 1902 and 1903, whilst on page 20 is given a similar
comparison between the 1903 and the 1902 statistics for the
Registration Sub-Districts of the Borough.
