Changes in Registration of Deaths.
The Registrar-General decided to publish from January ist, 1911,
in his annual reports an analysis of deaths according to administrative
areas instead of registration areas as hitherto, and this decision
necessitates a complete distribution of the deaths of persons dying
away from their homes to the administrative areas in which they had
previously resided.
Reports were received quarterly during 1924 from the RegistrarGeneral—a
total of 54 deaths—on slips, giving particulars of outside
deaths assigned to the Borough, in addition to those reported in the
usual way as having occurred in Metropolitan Institutions, which are
situated outside the Borough.
The table for the year 1924 (and the previous 5 years) at the end
of the Report (Vital Statistics), known as the Local Government Board
New Tables I., II., Ill, and IV., shew these corrected statistics of
deaths within the Borough (differing slightly, in consequence, from the
statistics in the body of the Report), the additional figures for the year
1924 being as follows :—
