TABLE No. 1.
| Locality. | Years. | Mean Annual Death Rate per 1,000. |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Place | 1894-1903 | 34.6 |
| Alpha Place North | „ „ | 23.0 |
| Alpha Mews | „ „ | 27.2 |
| Alpha Place West | „ „ | 16.8 |
| Willesden | „ „ | 13.9 |
From this it will be observed that ???
Alpha Place North, and Alpha Mews ???ve a death
rate very greatly in excess of that for the whole of
Willesden. There is thus established a prima facie
ground for believing that the conditions under which
their respective populations reside, are detrimental to
health.
Such a view, it will be seen, is strengthened by
further enquiry into their vital statistics.

occurred at each house during the decennium 18941903.
