condensed into two columns of figures. (See Table 10.) The corrected death rate for the
Borough for last year, obtained by the use of the factor referred to, was 14.32 per 1,000
persons, as compared with 13.19 in 1906; the difference from the "standard rate" amounting
to 2.78, equivalent to a saving during the year of 410 lives. In Church Ward only was the
corrected rate above the standard, the excess amounting to 0.98 per 1,000, as compared with
1.82 in 1906. Comparing last year's corrected rates with the means for the preceding
quinquennium, it is found (Table 10) that higher rates were recorded last year in Oueen's
Park, Harrow Road, and Lancaster Gate, West, Wards, that of the last being the only
increase in excess of unity, viz., 1.40.
