When those persons who were non-parishioners, but who died in
our Borough have been deducted, and the outlying deaths added, the
actual or "corrected" number of deaths belonging to the Sanitary Area
is found to be 4,495, of which number 2,445 were males, and 2,050 females.
The death-rate when calculated on this "corrected" number is 21.7
per 1,000 inhabitants for the whole Borough for the year 1902, as against
214 for the year 1901.
