I have, as in previous reports, much pleasure in testifying to the
satisfactory way in which the duties of Sanitary Inspector (Messrs.
Cornell and Carter) are carried out.
Tables of mortality and sickness, compiled according to the requirements
of the Local Government Board, are included in this Report.
Also a copy of Annual Report of the Inspectors, which has to be
forwarded to the County Council. Also the Annual Report under the
Factory and Workshop's Act, which has to be sent to the Home
Secretary.
The birth rate and death rate of the several localities in the district for the past five years are shown in the following table:—
