INFANTILE MORTALITY.
The deaths of 168 children under the age of twelve months were
allocated to Hackney by the Registrar-General during 1932. Deaths
of children in the Salvation Army and Church Homes for unmarried
mothers are included in these figures. There are nine institutions
of this kind in Hackney, and although many of the mothers and
babies who enter the homes have no real connexion with the
Borough, every death occurring therein is allocated to Hackney.
