Table No. 13 will show the work of Inspection from March
25th, 1896, to March 25th, 1897.
Table No. 14 will show the Improvements effected during
the same period.
INFLUENZA.
Although Sporadic cases of Influenza have occurred frequently
during the year, I am happy to state that there has been nothing
like an Epidemic, and the mortality, in consequence, is much
lower than last year.
During 1895 there were 51 Deaths, and this year 13 only.
The following figures show the number of deaths that have
been registered from Influenza in the Greenwich District since
1890:—
1890 4 1892 33 1894 11
1891 44 1893 28 1895 51
1896 13
The Registrar-General, in his Annual Report for 1896,
states:—
"That the deaths referred to Influenza in the course of the
year amounted to 496, a number which is considerably smaller
than in any year since 1890, the first year of the Epidemic
in London."
The deaths referred to Influenza in the year 1895 were 2,156
in number.
CHOLERA.
I am happy to state that during the year 1896 there was not
a case of Cholera reported as having occurred in this district.
