Lane. The deaths of these 304 non-residents must, for
purposes of correction, be struck off the number actually
returned by the Registrars. On the other hand I have
received information from Somerset House of the
deaths of 400 persons, ordinarily resident in Bethnal
Green, but who died in Public Institutions outside our
boundaries. After adding these 400 deaths and subtracting
the 304 non-residents, there remains a net
total of 2,489.
The deaths in the sub-districts were as under:—
North 1,001
South 665
East 802
Previous residence unknown 21
Total 2,489
DEATH RATE.
We shew a mortality for the year 1904 of 19.1. This
is one per thousand in excess of the rate of the previous
year (which was an exceptionally healthy one); but our
relation to the general Metropolitan rate is maintained
as this also has increased in the same ratio and is one
per thousand above that of the previous year; for the
death rate for the whole of London was 16.1 as against
15.2 for 1903.
MORTALITY RATES IN SUB-DISTRICTS.
In the following table is shewn the corrected
mortality rate in each of the three registration subdistricts.
