I have more than once mentioned that Ealing had
been selected by the County as one of the areas for
the establishment of a Tuberculosis Dispensary. Good
progress has been made, and ere long the establishment
will be organised and in working order under
the Tuberculosis Officer, Dr. F. R. B. Atkinson.
There has been no difficulty or delay in obtaining the
needful treatment for each patient when referred to
this official, and there is no question that the earlier
attention each patient receives and the precautionary
measures adopted by patient and contacts will show
beneficial results.
Births.
One thousand two hundred and thirty-four births
(males, 593; females, 641) were registered in the
Borough during the year, including twenty-nine illegitimate
births, and to this number must be added
nineteen outside births, making a total of 1,253 births
(males, 603; and females, 650). This affords a birth
rate of 17.5 per 1,000 of the population. In England
and Wales the rate was 23.6, and in London 24.6.

No. of illegitimate births, 1914, 29 (males, 11;
females, 18).
