    ANNUAL REPORT K&. OF The Medical Officer of Health FOR THE YEAR WOO. To the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the Borough of New Windsor. Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, The estimated population of the Borough of Population. Windsor at Midsummer, 1900 was 12,765, but there are reasons for thinking that the actual numbers were considerably greater. The number of Births registered as occurring B rthB- within the Borough was 261, being 50 less than were registered during the preceding ten years. This falling off may be partly accounted for by the circum¬ stance that so many of the male population were away at the war. The Birth-rate (7 Births which occurred at the Union Workhouse being taken into account), was 21 per 1,000 living, while in England and Wales the rate was 28-9 per 1,000 persons. The number of Deaths, corrected in respect of Deaths, those which occurred in the Workhouse, and in the Royal Infirmary, was 184, being 4 less than the mean number recorded during the preceding ten years. The Death-rate was 14-4 per 1.000 persons living, or corrected for the local abnormality of age distribution, 14*5, while the mortality of the country was 18*3, and that of the country districts, 17*5 per 1,000, so that the comparison is very favourable to this town.
