Now 2,353 deaths in 40,046 houses, the number supplied by the Southwark
and Vauxhall Company, are 537 deaths to each 10,000 houses; and 302
deaths to 26,107, the number of houses supplied by the Lambeth Company,
are 115 deaths to each 10,000 houses; consequently, in the second seven
weeks of the epidemic, the population supplied by the Southwark and
Vauxhall Company continued to suffer nearly five times the mortality of
that supplied with water by the Lambeth Company. If the 795 deaths in
which the water supply was not ascertained be distributed equally over
the other sources of supply in the above table (No. X), the deaths in
houses supplied by the Southwark and Vauxhall Company would be 2,830,
and in houses supplied by the Lambeth Company would be 363. By adding
the number of deaths which occurred in the first seven weeks of the
epidemic, we get the numbers in the subjoined table (No. XI), where the
population of the houses supplied by the two water companies is that
estimated by the Registrar-General.[16]
