The Birth-rate was the lowest on record, and the Death-rate
was very low (11.9)—even less than the low rates that have
obtained since the year 1891, and with the exception of that year
the lowest on record.
The remarkable freedom from infectious illness in the
District during the year has presented an exceptionally good
opportunity for prosecuting an increased amount of Sanitary
Inspections, and the number of these made by Mr. Stockman
has exceeded that of any previous year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
HENRY KENWOOD.
March, 1896.
