Table II. shows the population, the number of births and
deaths registered, and the number of deaths under one year of
age, for the whole Borough, as well as for the various subdistricts.
It also shows these for each year since 1900, and is to
a large extent a complete history of the mortality of the Borough
for the last 10 years.
Table III. shows the number of cases of infectious disease
notified during the year at all ages and at certain age periods in
the Borough and in the several sub-districts, and also shows the
number of cases removed from each sub-district to hospital.
Table IV. is the General Mortality Table for the whole
Borough, showing the number of deaths at all ages, arranged as
to cause of death. This also shows the total number of deaths in
each sub-district, and the number of deaths in Public Institutions
in the district, both of residents and non-residents.
