Rom 2
ANNUAL REPORT
of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
for the
URBAN SANITARY DISTRICT OF ROMFORD
FOR THE YEAR 1898.
To the Romford Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to present my Annual Report on the Health
of Romford, for the year ending December 31st, 1898.
226 deaths were registered as having occurred in the
Romford Urban District, during the year; of these sixtysix
occurred amongst non-residents of the town, a number
which had to be deducted from the total number of deaths
registered in order to form a proper estimate of the mortality
of the town itself. Making this necessary deduction from
the total number of deaths which took place in the Urban
District, I estimate the number of deaths to have been 160.
The population of Romford, which in 1891 was 8,408,
may now, I think, be fairly estimated to be 10,500, so that
the death-rate for the past year was 152 per 1,000 of the
population.
