Table IV embraces the causes and ages at death for the
same period. There were 331 deaths; of these 69 occurred
in the South Ward, 84 in the East Ward, 111 in the West
Ward and 67 in the Central Ward.
Table V gives the Infantile Mortality sub-divided into
weekly periods up to one year of age.
In addition to the foregoing, there are three tables
furnished by the Middlesex County Council, viz.:—Tables I,
II and III.
Table (I) refers to Inspections of Dwelling Houses,
Houses let in separate Dwellings or Lodgings, Common
Lodging Houses, Canal Boats used as Dwellings, Movable
Dwellings, Caravans, Tents, &c., Workshops and Workplaces,
Inspections generally, and notices served.
Table (II) contains the Inspection of Laundries, Bakehouses,
Slaughter-houses, Cowsheds, Dairies and Milksliops,
Unsound Food, Adulterated Food, Offensive Trades, Water
Supply, and Water Service.
Table (III) relates to Water Closet accommodation,
Drains, Cesspools, Disinfection, Dust Collecting, and sundry
other Nuisances, such as Overcrowding, smoke, &c., &c.
Population.
The Vital Statistics are in this report calculated on an
estimated population of 27,000. The population at the time
of the Census of 1891 was 16,026, and at the Census of 1901,
20,991.
Having regard to the large number of uninhabited
houses and the conclusions drawn from the number of births
and deaths, I have not felt justified in basing my calculations
on any other estimate.
The new houses finally inspected prior to occupation
during the year were considerably below the average of
preceding years.
