to be in the need of such milk, so that separate accounts of milk
supplied (if any) to non-necessitous applicants must be kept where

Much extra work will result from these modified Orders, which
enlarge considerably the number of applicants who are now eligible
for, and entitled to, the benefits under the Orders.
DEATHS, 1919.
The total number of deaths registered
is 4,932. The deaths of
all members of the armed forces of this or other countries are excluded
and not only the deaths of those dying in Institutions as
indicated in various tables throughout the body of the Report and
in the special tables I. and 111. of the Local Government Board (vide
Appendix).
All death rates for 1919 are calculated upon civil population
estimates.
1. —General Death-Rates.
The uncorrected death-rate for Lambeth is 17-5 per 1,000
inhabitants. This rate is, however, uncorrected, and, on analysing
the 4,932 total deaths registered, it is found that 1,371 represent
deaths occurring within the Borough amongst persons not
belonging thereto. These deaths are to be deducted, but, on the
other hand, there are 631 deaths registered outside the Borough of
persons belonging thereto, and these must be added, giving a net
corrected number of deaths of 4,192, and a net corrected death-rate
of 14-8 per 1,000 inhabitants. The general death-rates (corrected
or uncorrected) for the Borough are again satisfactory for the year
1919 (the nineteenth year of the existence of the Borough).
