In addition 158 took place at the Registry Office, but only about 22 per cent.
of these belong to the Urban District.
IV. Deaths.
The total number of Deaths at all ages belonging to the district was 143.
This gives a rate of 13.03 per thousand persons living. The estimated population
for the calculation of the Death-rate was 10,973.
The actual number of Deaths occurring in the Urban District was 96; 47
deaths belonging to the District occurred outside the area, in such places as the
Poor Law Institutions, Asylums, and various London Hospitals.
This year Bronchitis heads the list of causes of Death with 18 as against
16 last year. Organic Heart Disease comes next with 17, then Influenza and
Cancer with 10 each: Tuberculosis also was responsible for 10, eight of these
being of the Pulmonary type.
V. Infantile Death Rate.
The number of Deaths under 1 year of age was 12 (of which 3 were
illegitimate children), which gives a rate per thousand births of 57.1. This,
compared with 1909 when there were 33 (a rate of 123 per thousand births), and
1911 when there were 31 (a rate of 132 per thousand), shows a considerable
improvement, but must yet be regarded as far from ideal, and should stimulate
work on the lines of the District's Infant Clinic.
