Deaths. There was only one fatal case—a girl of five years of age, (the
actual cause of death was in all probability due to meningeal complications).
The death rate per thousand of the population was 0.007 and the case mortality
0.14 per cent.
SMALLPOX.
There were no cases of smallpox in the Borough during the year under
