DEATHS.
The total deaths registered in the district were 1,306. This
figure includes 102 non.residents who died in the district
but does not include 315 residents who died outside the
Borough. When allowance is made for inward and outward
transfers, the nett death figure of 1,519 is obtained. The
death rate for the year was 10 8. In 1924 the corresponding
rate was 110. The death rate, 10'8, is the sixth lowest
amongst the Metropolitan Boroughs, Hampstead taking
first place with 10.1.
In 1925, the death rate for England and Wales was 12.2
for London, 11.7, and the mean death rate for 105 Great
Towns was 12.2.
The following Table, No. 8, shows the death rates in each
