BIRTH RATE.
The births actually registered in Bethnal Green during
the year numbered 3,863, but to these must be added
the balance of the transferable births (145) notified by the
Registrar-General, thus raising the total to 4,008. This
gives a birth rate of 31.35 per thousand population, nearly
one per thousand above that of last year. The general
London rate still stands at 24.5, a figure identical with that
of the two previous years.
