That your Medical Officer reported as follows :

of Births was 222 : the number of Deaths from all
"causes was 214; 59 occurring in the Western district, 138
"in the Eastern district, and 17 in the outlying Institu"tions,
giving a death-rate equal to 31.4 per 1,000 per
" annum: that of the Metropolis being 25.1 for the same

"This increase in the death-rate is principally owing to
"an increased number succumbing to diseases from the
"respiratory organs, no less than 75 attributed to this
"cause. There were 17 deaths certified from the pre"vailing
epidemic "Influenza." From inquiries that I
"have made, there has been a large number of cases of
