George's district and 12 deaths took place there during the year.
The death rate for the whole district is 13.9 per thousand which is .4
higher than last year, but 2.1 lower than the average of the last 10
years.
CORRECTED DEATH RATE.
The County Medical Officer has supplied me again this year
with the names and places where inhabitants of Brentford died outside
the district. I cannot allot them to their several districts as the
addresses are incomplete, but 15 came from New Brentford and 60
from Old Brentford, making a total of 75 who died in the various
institutions given below as against 55 last year. These when added
to the 234 which occurred in Brentford give a total of 309, which
presuming all the deaths which were registered in Brentford all inhabitants
is a correct account of the total number of deaths which
Brentford suffered during the year and gives a total death rate of 19.2
per thousand. For 1905 when the first correct return was made it
was 17.6, and in 1906 it was 17.
