after subtracting from the total registered deaths the deaths of nonresident
persons dying in Hampstead and adding the deaths of Hampstead
residents who died outside the district the true or corrected
death rate was 10.3 per 1000 of the population as compared with the
rate of 9.8 per 1000 of the population in 1903. The average rata
for the 10 years 1894 —1903, was 11.3. It is of interest to note
