they compare with rates which are unusually low:—
Muswell Hill Ward death-rate, 1896, 9.03 ; death-rate, 1895, 6.8.
South Haringey „ „ „ 8.52; ,, ,, 6.49.
Whilst in the Crouch End and Stroud Green Wards, although there
were registered two more deaths in the former and seven in the latter,
yet owing to the estimated increase in the population, there is a small
decrease in the death-rate, that of Crouch End being 5.77 for 1896,
and 5.94 for 1895, and that of Stroud Green being 6.8 for 1896, and
714 for 1895.
