    Deaths in 1906. The Deaths in 1906 registered in our District amounted to 824, n0. of as compared with 748 in 1905. This, however, gives a false impression, T)eaths- beeause of these Deaths, 32 were those of Visitors to the District, while on the other hand I have records of 65 persons belonging to the District dying elsewhere—viz., in Tranmere Workhouse, Birkenhead and Liverpool Hospitals, etc. 824 less 32 = 792. 792 plus 65 - 857. These 857 Deaths give a Recorded Death-Rate (on the basis of Recorded 62,000 Population) of 13.82 per 1,000 per annum, as against 13.19 in Deatl1_Rate- 1905—which was the lowest recorded Death-Rate. [The Registrar-General has introduced a still further correction Corrected to give as far as possible, a uniformity for age and sex in the population ^eath-Rate. of the 76 Great Towns, among which Wallasey now ranks. This was got at the Census of 1901 by ascertaining the age and sex of the population in these 76 Towns, and a factor has been ascertained for each Town. For Wallasey it is 1.0950. Our Death-Rate, 13.82, multiplied by the factor 1.0950, gives a Rate of 15.13, i.e., the Rate corrected for variation of age and sex distribution.] Of the 824 Deaths, 436 were males and 388 females. I have this year again made an estimate of the Density of Population in our District, and give it below as at the end of 1906. Density of Population for the whole of the District. Population at end of 1906 = 65,000. Acreage.= 3,408.153 acres. Density . . . . . . = 19.07 per acre. For the Townships. Poulton-cum-Seacombe—acreage 830.399 acres. Density = 28.37 per acre.
