From the above table it will be seen that of 1,675 children,
1,363, or 81.3 per cent., were breast fed on first being visited, but
210, or 12.5 per cent., had no separate sleeping accommodation.
The particulars in respect of housing accommodation show that
only 538 of the families visited had a house to themselves, while
46 families were living in one room. The 1932 figures were 609
and 72 respectively.
