The above report Is believed TO be correct,
as the death certificates are, by requirement
OF the new Health Ordinance, returned
monthly TO the Health Officer. This was
not required formerly, and hence II has
been impossible heretofore TO give the cor
rect mortality.
BY a conn mparison with the death rate In
other cities Of equal size, IL will be seen that
the mortality OF Wheeling II quite favor
able. A hasfy and consequently imperfect
enumeration made early last summer by
the Board OF Education, indicated popu-
latIon OF about $500, (which was an In
crease over 1872 OF l,62l." Allowing for
mistakes IN this census, (which was taken
mainly for the purpose OF learning the
number OF youth OF "school age and the
natural growth OF the city, and 2S,oo0 will
certainly be low estimate for The average
population during lb73. This gives us
dea IN rate Of 1876 or about LIZ In l.0O.
The latest reports for comparison have
at hand are for ISL, which was probably a
more healthy year than the past.
OF q large number OF cities whose popula-
ton ranges from 1000 TO 20 90, In but on G
is the death rate as low as in Wheeling.
