Infective Diseases. 41
The number of deaths was reduced from 75 in 1921-1922
to 38 in 1927-1928, although there are no grounds for assuming
that the number of cases which actually occurred in the Borough
during the last epidemic, was any fewer. The death-rate per
1,000 of the population was TO, compared with .14 in 1926,
.23 in 1924, and .22 in 1922.
596 premises were disinfected at the request of the occupiers.
Table XVIII. shows the number of cases of infective diseases
which occurred in the individual elementary schools during the
year.
