Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The four Tables which follow are inserted by request of the
Local Government Board.
Table I. is arranged to show the gross births and deaths in
the district, and the births and deaths belonging to it with the
corresponding rates.
The rates in column 7 are calculated on the gross population,
and the rates in 5 and 13 on the nett population, i.e., the population
obtained by deducting from the estimated gross population the average
number of inmates not belonging to the district in Public
Institutions.
The population given in column 2 of this Table is the population
after the above correction has been made.
Table II. shows the number of cases of Infectious Diseases
notified during the year at all ages and at certain age periods in
the Borough and in the separate sub-districts, and also shows
the number of cases removed to hospital from the whole Borough.
Table III. is the general mortality Table for the whole Borough,
showing the number of deaths at all ages, and at certain ages,
arranged as to cause of death. It also shows the number of deaths
in Public Institutions and other places in the district, both of

Table IV. shows in detail the deaths of infants under one
year of age from certain diseases, arranged in weekly age periods,
the first four weeks, from one to three months, and for three monthly
periods up to one year.
