The number of births was 14*, viz. : 4 male and 10 females. The birth-rate was 18.5
per 1,000, which is 8.8 per 1,000 above the average for the previous five years. The birthrate
in these Dwellings reached a maximum of 46.9 per 1,000 in 1896, and has since been
falling irregularly, but almost progressively.
The death rate for 1936 was 15 .9 per 1,000 per annum.
For the purposes of comparison of birth and death rates, the population in the whole
of these dwellings has been included in the calculation, as probably representing a class
homogeneity.
The baths, provided for the use of tenants of these Buildings, which were opened in
May, 1904, continue to be extensively used, the number of persons bathing during 1936
being 16,221, of whom 6,771 were males and 9,450 were females.
The accompanying table is compiled from the monthly records of attendances at the
baths :—
