    number of empty houses, stated by those com¬ petent to give an opinion at not less than 130— the average mortality for the last seven years, cannot be less than 22,0, a number verging on the very point of excess. It is stated upon authority that there are many Registration districts the mortality of which does not exceed 16 to 1000, and it has been ascertained beyond doubt that the inevitable mortality is only about 11 to 1000, the excess above that ratio may therefore be said to be preventible by improved Sanitary and social arrangements. The following table shews the rate per Cent of the deaths in Chatteris at different ages, taken on an average of the last three years mortality, and a comparison with the deaths at the same ages for all England, taken from the last annual report of the Registrar General.
