Ward Distribution.— The decrease in the number of deaths
was spread evenly throughout the district and the death-rate was
lower in all the Wards than it was in 1924.
The number of deaths in each Ward was as follows :—
North-East. North-West. South-East. South-West.
190 135 137 207
The death-rate of each Ward was:—
North-East North-West. South-East. South-West.
10.9 10.3 9 11.2
One of the most satisfactory features is the evenness of the
death-rate in the several Wards. During the past 5 years, the
death-rates in the different wards have been as follows :—
North-East. North-West. South-East. South-West.
1925 0 10.9 10.3 9 11.2
1924 12.2 11.8 9.2 12
1923 10 9.1 10 9.6
1922 0.6 10 10 10.6
1921 10 11 9.5 11.5
Twenty years ago, the death-rate of the South-West Ward
was consistently nearly twice that of the other Wards, and twelve
and fifteen years ago it was considerably higher.
I append the death-rates of the several Wards in the years
1909-1912, though at that period a considerable improvement
had taken place in the death-rate of the South-West Ward.
North-East. North-West. South-East. South-West.
1909 8.5 9.7 11.4 19.1
1910 8.8 8.9 9.9 15.5
1911 9.5 10.3 11.2 22.2
