Willesden Local Board.
The average rate for England and Wales during
the year has been 191 In 33 great towns the
average has been 21.5. In 67 other large town
districts, in which Willesden comes about fourteenth
in amount of population, the death rate comes to
19.1.
I find in looking through the Registrar General's
quarterly reports that he makes the total number
of deaths belonging to Willesden come to 1,077, and
adds the following note in reference to the 67 large
town districts:—
" The deaths in these towns have been
" corrected by the exclusion of a proportional
" number of deaths occurring in hospitals and
" lunatic asylums situated within the dis"
tricts or sub-districts here taken as repre"
senting the towns, or by the exclusion or
" addition of a proportion of the deaths in
" Union Workhouses."
I do not know how many deaths may have
occurred in lunatic asylums, but the total is only
five in excess of my own information, making the
death rate equal 15.5.
