Whether the corrected or uncorrected death-rates for the
Borough (as a whole) be taken, they are satisfactory for the year
1914 (the fourteenth year of the existence of the Borough). Subdividing
the death-rates according to Registration Sub-Districts,
it is again shown that the Inner Districts (Lambeth Church, Kennington,
and inner part of Stockwell) have, collectively and individually,
suffered more than the Outer Districts, e.g., outer part

be sub-divided amongst the Wards it will be noted also that the
Inner Wards, e.g., Marsh, Bishop's, Prince's and Vauxhall, have,
collectively and individually, suffered more than the Outer Wards,
e.g., Stockwell, Brixton, Heme Hill, Tulse Hill and Norwood.

the Inner Districts are more congested than the outer. The status
of the inhabitants and the general conditions (sanitary and otherwise)
under which they live, are also matters to bear in mind,
when dealing with this subject.

Of the Registration Sub-Districts, Kennington has the highest
