Whalen, M. D., the commissioner of health, says: "The total 29,048 deaths from all causes reported during the year to the bureau of vital statistics represent a rate of 14.18 per thousand of the minimum estimate of 2,049,185 midyear population. While this is 3.9 per cent higher than the average rate of the previous two years, it is 3.6 per cent lower than the average of the decade 1896-1905 and sufficiently low to again sustain our oft-repeated contention that Chicago is the healthiest of American cities that have a population of 300.000 or over a fact that is graphically set forth by the appended diagram, in which the figures of population are those of the United States census bureau and the deaths are as reported by the representative health authorities." The highest rate recorded in Chicago in the last sixty years was 73.8 in 1849 during the Asiatic cholera epidemic, the lowest 13.6 in 1904. The rates for 1905 and 1901. 12.7 and 13.9 respectively, were nearly a low as the lowest. More than 70 per cent of the total reduction in the mortality rate of the last forty years occurred in the ten years, 1896-1905. Within the last two years the rate has increased slightly owing mainly to abnormal weather conditions. INCREASING DURATION OF LIFE IN CHICAGO.
