58 JOURNAL OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE of the City of Seattle, W T Gentlemen I herewith submit the following quarterly report of the health department of this City The total number of deaths during the nine months which I have acted as health officer in the city including non-residents and still births is sixty one. Of these decedents seventeen were non-residents and two were stillbirths. Deducting these and we have but forty-two deaths among the actual residents of the City. Considering our population at five thousand this is an extremely low death rate, scarcely more than one half the average death rate of the larger cities in this country. Thirty nine births have been reported This is a low birth rate but I have good reason to believe that many births have not been reported. It may be that all accouchers in the city are not aware of the existance of Ordinance 244 There is very little sickness in the city at present I learn of an occasional case of measels or scarlatina but it seems more of a sporadic than an epidemic, or contagious character. Several nuisences have been abated and several more have come to my knowledge which will soon be corrected.
