The table has also shewn for the borough and its districts the approximate population, the comparative annual mortality for the month for each 1,000 persons estimated as living, and the same for the corres¬ ponding period of the previous year.

This information has been at the service of the press. Quarterly.—The Committee has also received from me, in print, a more detailed statement of mortality, shewing the number of deaths and the approximate death-rate per 1,000 for each of the municipal wards of the borough during each quarter. In the same reports the birth-rates and the death- rates, not only from all causes, but also from the seven commoner zymotic diseases, for the registration sub-districts for the same periods of 13 weeks were given. There has also been laid before the Committee, each quarter, a printed statement, on a form similar to table II, in the more extended “ Annual Report,” of the work done in each ward of the borough by the District inspectors. A table similar to table F. has accompanied this report, and another with some of the details contained in table A. Trough Closets.—A special report was prepared on methods of remedying the nuisance complained of from these closets when emptied on Sunday night. Drain Testing.—A printed report on a suggestion for expediting the complete testing of all house drains in the city was also presented. Tan-yard Effluents.—A special report on the reception of these into the sewers was presented to you in October.
