NOTIFICATIONS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
The number of notifications of infectious diseases in the Borough during 1910
was again small, having been only 181 in comparison with a decennial average of
384. During the past eight years the notifications per 1,000 of the population
have been less than for London, and last year were 3.4 per 1,000 in comparison
with 4.5 for London.
This rate of 3.4 is again the lowest recorded for the Borough, and less than
the lowest rate recorded for London.
