    NEWMARKET URBAN SANITARY DISTRICT. ANNUAL REPORT, 1895. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Pursuant to the Eegulations of the Local Government Board, I beg to hand you my Eeport on the Sanitary condition of the Town for the year 1895. I have made out two returns, one for the first nine months of the year, embracing the former Urban area; the other for October, November and December, treating of the enlarged Urban District. BIRTH RATE.—The births registered during the nine months were 115 (fifty-six boys and fifty-nine girls). During the first quarter there were 42 births, giving a rate per thousand of 25-75. During the second quarter there were 37 births, giving a rate per thousand of 22-68. During the third quarter there were 37 births, giving a rate per thousand of 22-68. DEATHS.—There were registered during the first nine months of the year eighty-two deaths. Eighteen deaths must be deducted from these of persons who died in the Union Workhouse, but who belonged to Eural Parishes. The corrected number is thus 64. In the first quarter of the year, twenty-eight deaths occurred, the death-rate being 17-17. In the second quarter twenty-eight deaths were registered, the death-rate being 15-63. In the third quarter there were nineteen deaths, the death-rate being 11-65. Death Rate for the nine months as required by the Local Government Board for 189S.
