Of the 28 London boroughs, Lewisham, with a death rate of 10 per 1000 of the population, had the lowest death rate last year. This act was mentioned in the report of Dr A. Wellesley Harris, medical officer of health. The infantile mortality rate of 40 per 1000 births, in addition, constituted a new record, being the lowest ever recorded in Lewisham, and also the lowest in all the metropolitan boroughs.
