Taking the collected number of Heaths of persons
belonging to the district at 95, as set out in the foregoing
tables, this gives a death rate of 10.3 per thousand of the
population. The rate for England and Wales for 1911 is
146.
Thirty-nine of these deaths were of persons 60 years
of age and upwards, of whom 11 were between 60 and 70,
21 between 70 and SO, 6 between 80 and 90, and 1 was 90.
Seven deaths were the subjects of Inquests by the
Coroner during the year, and the verdicts of the juries
were as follows:—Drowning, 1; accidental suffocation, 2;
natural causes, 4.
Twelve deaths were due to Diarrhœa and Enteritis,
and there was no other death from any of the principal
Zymotic diseases.
This is equal to a rate of 1.2 per thousand of the
population, an increase on the 1910 rate.
