    16 It has been customary to include in the Report tables compiled by the Registrar General showing the comparative rates for Births, Deaths, and Infantile Mortality of the various Metropolitan Boroughs. Unfortunately at the time of going to press this information is not to hand, but through the courtesy of Dr. Allan Young, the Medical Officer of Health for Poplar, who has obtained the particulars direct from the Boroughs concerned, I am enabled to give the comparative figures in the following table.
