limit.
Five hundred and forty-six persons
died after they had reached the age of
so, while 1881 babies under 1 year
were included in the mortality toll.
The exact ages of 452 persons could

from infantile paralysis and only one
death from malaria. There were but
three deaths from typhus fever, three
from spotted fever (tick bite) and
