In Clapham, Putney and Wandsworth the rate was lower than
in 1911, while in Streatham and Tooting it was higher, while for the
whole Borough it was .17 per 1,000 under the rate for the previous
year.
In Clapham the greatest number of cases was notified in
October, November and December, and the smallest in June.
In Putney the greatest number of cases was notified in January
and December, in Streatham in November, in Tooting in November,
and in Wandsworth in December.
The rate in Tooting was to some extent raised by the notification
of cases from the Fever Hospital. The total number of
cases notified from this Institution was 28, so that the rate
instead of being 5.80 would on that account be reduced to 5.00 in
1912 and 2.87 in 1911.
In the whole Borough the greatest number of cases, viz.—117,
was notified in November, and the smallest in June, viz.—37.
