If we take a retrospect for the past ten years,
which the preceding tables will enable us to do, it will
be seen that whilst the deaths from the ordinary classes
of disease have increased in proportionate ratio to the
population those from Zymotic causes have not done
so, which fact Ave may take as evidence that the
constant endeavours put forth by the Board and its
Officers to improve the sanitary condition of the district
have not been in vain.
