increase in young life when compared with the average from 1895-1904 was
429. This saving in juvenile life is the best proof that any community can
show of its good sanitary condition.
As a survey of the mortality for a period of years is of interest the returns
from the first year of civil registration to the end of 1905 are appended.
The death-rates which follow have been calculated for each year on a
careful estimate of the populations as revealed by the census returns which
were obtained at the close of each successive decade.
