The marriage rate, 169, compares with 165 in 1922. The death rate, 9'9, is the lowest in the metropolitan area and the in. fantile mortality rate, 43, is the second lowest in the Metropolitan Boroughs, and both these rates are the lowest in the records of the Borough. Excluding cases of measles and tuberculosis, 876 no...

It is estimated that there are 2,289 notified cases of tuberculosis living in the district, and that 929 of these persons are suffering from active tuberculosis. An essential element in dealing with this disease is the formation of a Care Committee whose function is to deal with the social and economic side of the fami...

Twenty years ago an infantile mortality rate of 43 did not appear to be within the realm of practicability, but the solid advance in this work during the last decade leads one to look forward to an even lower infantile mortality rate in the future, and particularly so in the first month of life. The attendance at the c...

This excess of the day population is a feature of central London Boroughs and is not, as a rule, noted in the peripheral Boroughs. There are many large works on the borders of Woolwich and in the influx of workers to these places lies the explanation of this fact. It will be seen from Table No. 1 that 16,397 Woolwich r...
