The average mortality during the last 10 years was 21.1 deaths
per thousand persons living, being one death to each 48.0 persons
as compared with a death rate of 19.5, or one death to 51.2
persons living last year. The facts look well in a public health
point of view, and more particularly so when we consider the
fact that during the last decade the density of the population has
increased from 16 persons per acre to 26.9.
