President Territorial Board OF Health
The death rate in the territory dur
ing the fiscal year ending June -,
1911, was reduced LA per 1000 popu-
lation. In the previous year the rate
vas 1874 per 1000, while last year
it was 16 per 1000 inhabitants. The
death rate for Honolulu was - per
1000 population, but this figure IS un-
fair because it is based on the census
of 1910; il the present increased
population we're used as basis the
figure would be much lower.
Correspdndingly, health conditions
throughout the islands have improved.
During the last six months of 1917
the monthly report of the department
has read like this: twenty-one cases
Of infectious diseases reported, eleven
deaths. In previous years this was
reversed, reading: eleven cases re-
ported, twenty-one deaths.
Those earlier reports require ex-
plantation They mean that only
eleven cases were found by the board
Of health inspectors and officials, vet
there, were actually twenty-one
deaths; in other words that the suf-
Gerers were neither reported nor dis
covered by the department until they
died. The changed report this year,
especially in the last six months,
shows greater efficiency, and at the
same time fewer deaths.
Marked improvem ents have 2sen
