The next Table will show the actual number of deaths in
each month of the last five years, but for the sake of convenience,
placed in the form of weekly average in each month.
No better proof could be placed before you of the unquestionable
value of the sanitary measures which have been
used in the Hamlet.
The population in 1856, was supposed to be 61448; in
1861 it had become increased to 73064, upwards of one
sixth, yet a glance at the bottom line of the Table will
convince any one interested in these matters, that there has
been an immense saving of human life, for the averages of
death remain nearly the same with the large population, as
they were with the smaller.
