    same period, ddiei-e were 373 deaths ; of tliese 69 occuri-ed iii the South Ward, 76 iu the East Ward, 157 in the West Ward and 71 ill the Central Ward. Table V gives the Infantile Mortality sub-divided into weekly periods up to one year of age. In addition to the foregoing, there are three tables furnished by the Middlesex County Council, viz. d’ables I, II and III. Table (I) refers to Inspections of Dwelling Houses, Houses let ill separate Dwellings or Lodgings, (Jomnion Lodging Houses, (’anal Boats used as Dwellings, Movable Dwellings, (’aravaiis, Tents, &c., Workshops and Workplaces, Inspections generally, and notices served. Table (II) contains the Inspection of Laundries, Bake¬ houses, Slaughter-houses, (’owslieds, Dairies and Milkshops, Unsound Food, Adulterated Food, Offensive Trades, Water Supply, and Water Service. Table (III) relates to Water Closet accommodation. Drains, Cesspools, Disinfection, Dust Collecting, and sundry other Nuisances, such as overcrowding, smoke, &o., &c. The compilation of the various tables has necessitated very great care and considerable time. Population. The Vital Statistics are calculated on an estimated popula¬ tion of 27,000. d he population at the time of the Census of 1891 was 16,026, and at the (Census of 1901, 20,991. If the population per house remains the same as in 1901 the population is in excess of the number mentioned. This estimate cannot however be given with any amount of confidence, and it is to be regretted that the Local (government Board has not arranged for a quinquennual census in order that the vital statistics might be prepared with greater accuracy.
