Vaccinati The next Table kindly supplied to us by
the Clerk of the Guardians shows the amount of vaccination
performed in the district. Out of 4,236 births registered
in 1892, 3,223 children were returned as successfully
vaccinated, whilst 479 were unaccounted for from various
causes, or 11.3 per cent. of the total births, compared with
8.6 per cent. in the previous year:—
| SUB-DISTRICTS. | Number of Births Returned from 1st January to 31st December 1892 | Successfully Vaccinated. | Insusceptible of Vaccination. | Had Small-pox. | Dead Unvaccinated. | Postponed by Medical Certificate. | Removed to District, Vaccination Officer of which has been duly apprised. | Removed to places unknown, or which cannot be reached ; and cases not having been found. |

Bye-laws. In our last Report we stated that bye-laws
under sections 16, 29, 50 and 94 of the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891, had been framed on the foundation
of the model bye-laws drawn up by the Local Government
Board, and that they were then awaiting confirmation
by that Board.
The result was, however, that no additions to or alterations
in the model bye-laws were allowed by the Local
Government Board, so that they were finally made and
confirmed in that form. The advantage of this was that
the bye- laws under these sections were made uniform
throughout London.
Sanitary
Proceedings.
Table XIII. gives in the usual form a summary
of the principal sanitary operations in the district during
the year.
