Note 30 — V.—PECUNIARY BURDENS CREATED BY THE NEGLECT OF SANITARY MEASURES.
Reading edition
Where so much independent provision is made, as by clubs, only a part of the consequences of premature deaths appear on the poor’s roll. The population of Camborne is less exclusively mining than is Gwennap; but the records of pauperism in the office afford marks of a general difference in the condition of the population of the two parishes.
Parish. Ratio of Paupers to the whole Population. Ratio of Widows and Women whose Husbands have deserted them, or are transported, to the whole Population. Cost of Relief per Head on the whole Population.
