SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
Vestry Offices',
Walham Green, S.W.,
May, 1888.
Gentlemen,—I have the honour to present you with my Second
Annual Report for the Parish of Fulham.
The vital statistics are for the registration year ended 31st December,
1887, and the sanitary statistics for the parochial year ended
March 25th, 1888.
The estimated population for the year calculated on the increase in
the number of inhabited houses amounts to 78,000.
The sanitary statistics which deal with the parochial year are, as
in my former report, considered in two separate districts, the Northern
and the Southern.
The area of the parish in statute acres is 1,716 giving a rate of 45.45
inhabitants per acre.
During the year 2,870 births were registered in the parish, viz.:—
Males 1,412, and females, 1,458, as against 2,680 in last year, being at
the annual rate of 36.79 per 1,000 inhabitants. The annual birth
rate throughout the Metropolis was 31.7.
The births registered during the third quarter of the year were the
highest, viz., 757, and during the second quarter the lowest, viz., 661.
There were 1,545 deaths registered during the year, viz., males
788, and females 757, as against 1,355 in the previous year. Of these,
220 were of non-parishioners, and 104 deaths of parishioners occurred in
public institutions out of the parish. Deducting the deaths of nonparishioners,
and adding those of parishioners dying out of the parish,
the deaths were equivalent to 18.32 per 1,000. The death rate
