From Table V. it will be seen that the total number of
deaths from infectious diseases and diarrhœa registered in
the Parish (including deaths of Non-Parishioners), was
129, or 24 below the average of the previous 10 years.
If, however, we subtract the deaths of Non-Parishioners
(15) and add those of Parishioners dying of these diseases
in Public Institutions outside of the Parish (18) the total
becomes 132, which is equivalent to a zymotic death-rate
of only 1.68, as against 1.88 in 1890, and 1.21 in 1891,
the rate for London being 2.82, and that for the 33 largest
English towns 2.64. The large towns showing lower
zymotic death-rates than this are Huddersfield, 1.48; Norwich,
1.58; Newcastle, 1.64; Halifax, 1.65; and Bradford,
1.66. Plymouth has 1.70; Burnley, 1.78; Gateshead, 1.80;
Derby, 1.86; Portsmouth, 1.87; and Croydon, 1.89; all the
rest have a zymotic death rate of over 2 per thousand per
annum.
The highest zymotic death-rates in the Country are
furnished by Sheffield, 3.06; Bolton, 3.10; Preston, 3.87;
and Salford, 4.58.
