This the Wat* holds to b: the fact; but admitting even that at! the deaths of temporary residents and visitor, are taken into lb* -.teals. Ira. by the teste Board of Raaltb, and adrahtio* that In 1881 Atlantic (Sty had 1300 more of a population tt.sn in I860, does this account Jar the fact that IV death rmlt at Atiantie dtp Jo r 1882 •ms nearlp double Oat of 1880? In the latter year, it vu IS 86 par 1880, whim In 1888, It was 81.76. With suet a large propartion of deaths, reasoning people would naturally look foe a corresponding ly large toorasse of population. Such a proportionate increase we do nt* Bod at Atlantic CUy. If the dealb-rate Increases • > rapidly and out of IB proportion. to the increase of population, that seaside resort cannot possibly he a safe one either for the invalid w the jdosureraerirer. So, Mr lUitrirr. there are other reasons tor thb grrel VufMj. and the adding of 1800 in I years to the population dent not rx plain il awtp.
