It has been customary to include in the Report tables compiled
by the Registrar General showing the comparative rates for Births,
Deaths, and Infantile Mortality of the various Metropolitan
Boroughs. Unfortunately at the time of going to press this information
is not to hand, but through the courtesy of Dr. Allan Young, the
Medical Officer of Health for Poplar, who has obtained the particulars
direct from the Boroughs concerned, I am enabled to give the
comparative figures in the following table.
