The number of children born in the City
(see table B) was 552. The Birth Rate, therefore,
was 16.3 per 1,000 ; St. Martin's-in-theFields
being the lowest, 14.0, and St. Luke's
the highest at 46.8.
The Birth Rate for the whole of London is
given as 30.5.
These wide variations in the several Metropolitan
sanitary areas are due chiefly to the
differences in the sex and age distribution of
their populations.
Of the births 410 were successfully vaccinated,
5 were insusceptible, 53 died before the
age for vaccination, 21 were postponed by
Medical Certificate, 53 removed into other
districts, and 10 were still pending at the end
of the year.
During the same period a number of adults,
etc., were re-vaccinated.
The following tables, A and B, are compiled
in accordance with the requirements of the
Local Government Board, upon the form
prescribed by that Department.
