The death rate, calculated on the net estimate of the population
of 90,072, is 9.9 per 1,000, as compared with 9.9 in 1924; 9.5 in 1923;
9.5 in 1922; 9.2 in 1921; 9.0 in 1920; 9.9 in 1919 ; 13.0 in 1918;
10.5 in 1917; 8.5 in 1916; 10.5 in 1915; 8.8 in 1914; 9.45 in 1913;
8.3 in 1912; 9.4 in 1911.
It will be seen from Table III. that cancer is the cause of
over one-sixth of the deaths occurring. If the age periods 45
upwards be taken it causes over one-seventh, or of the period 45—
65 years, over one-fifteenth.
