Diseases of the Respiratory Organs.
In this District there were 33 deaths caused by Phthisis,
or 2.5 per 1 000 inhabitants; 33 by Pneumonia, and 15 by
Bronchitis.
Inquests
were held in 123 cases in this District; only 18, however, were
on the bodies of parishioners.
Mortuary.
33 bodies were removed to the Mortuary in Weaver's-lane.
I may be permitted to remind the Board that the accommodation
at the Mortuary is inadequate, and that there is no
satisfactory provision for the holding of inquests. These
matters are now being considered by your Works and Finance
Committee, and several reports thereon have been furnished
by your Surveyor and myself.
Temperature.
The mean temperature of the year was 50°.2 F., being 1°.2
above the average of the preceding ten years.
