Deaths.
Deaths of residents 558
Death-rate per 1000 of population 15.9
The total number of deaths registered in the district during
the year was 801, an increase of 60 compared with the number
registered in 1907. The total includes deaths of both residents
and non-residents. The number of deaths of non-residents, that is,
persons belonging to other districts who died and whose deaths
were registered in this district, was 273, making the number of
deaths of residents registered during the year, 528, which is 66
more than the number registered in the previous year. The
number of persons belonging to this district who died away from
it and whose deaths were registered elsewhere during the year,
was 30, compared with 28 last year.
The net total of deaths of residents registered during the year
was therefore 558, a number which compared with the 490
registered in 1907, shows an increase of 68 over that year.
