Third Quarter.—There were 1,22.4 deaths registered, or 174 less than the
corrected average (1,050) of the ten years (1901-1910). They represented an
annual death-rate of 14.96 per 1,000, as compared with a mean decennial rate
for this quarter of the year of 12.83 per 1,000. The mortality, in proportion to
population, was higher than has been experienced in the borough in the third
quarters of the past six years, yet it compares favourably with the death-rates
of the preceding years 188G-1904. The highest mortality occurred in the second
week of September, and the lowest in the third week of July, at which periods
the death-rates were respectively 1912 and 9 40 per 1,000 annually.
Fourth Quarter.—1,141 were recorded, or 191 less than the corrected
average (1,332) of the ten years (1901-1910). They were equal to the low
annual death-rate of 13.94 per 1,000, as compared with a mean decennial rate
for this quarter of the year of 16.28 per 1,000. The highest mortality occurred
in the third week of December, and the lowest in the second week of November,
at which periods the death-rates were respectively 16.6 and 10.68 per 1,000
annually. The death-rate is the lowest on record for any corresponding period.
