Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Table X. shows the death-rate in the Borough, in the five
sub-districts, and in England and Wales for the year, as well as the
rates for the previous 10 years, compared with the decennial
average.
During the previous decennium the lowest mortality in the
Borough and in London was in 1910, while it was lowest in England
and Wales in the year 1912. The rate in 1919, although higher
than in 1910, 1912, 1913 and 1914, is lower than the average of
the previous 10 years. Compared with London and with England
and Wales the Borough rate is considerably lower.
