BOARD OF WORKS
FOR THE
LIMEHOUSE DISTRICT.
gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Report on the
Health and Sanitary condition of the Limehouse District for the
year 1884.
The deaths in the District during that year exclusive of those
of non-residents which occurred in Public Institutions situated
in the District, but inclusive of those residents which occurred in
Public Institutions situated beyond the limits of the District,
amounted to 1,369, which number indicates a death rate for the year
of 23.3 per 1,000.
