Table B. This is the second table prescribed by the Local
Government Board, and contains information relative to the
population, births and notifications of infectious disease in the
several localities and public institutions within the limits of the
parish. The removal of cases of infectious disease to the
hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylum Board are included in this
table.
The various public institutions, which are all situated in the
Western division of the parish, are here treated as separate
districts and have the census population assigned to them
respectively, while the populations outside such institutions in
the East and West Division of the parish have estimated mean
populations calculated for them, in accordance with the rate of
increase which prevailed during the last inter-censal period.
