Infantile Mortality.
The total number of deaths under one year was 258:—50 in
Clapham, 27 in Putney, 33 in Balham, 30 in Streatham, 35 in
Tooting, and 83 in Wandsworth. As the number of births was
4,881, the Infantile Mortality rate was 52 per 1,000 births.
The Infantile Mortality rate was the same as in 1923, and
these two years are the lowest recorded.
The number of deaths among legitimate infants was 248 to
4,736 births—a mortality of 52 per 1,000 births, while the number
of deaths among illegitimate infants was 10 to 145 births—a
mortality of 68 per 1,000 births.
