  3. Curiously enough, the Collective Investigation Committee remark upon this point that a comparison of the houses and districts where sanitation was reported “good” with those in which it was “indifferent” or “bad” brings out the result that thelowest mortality coincided with theworse sanitation. The 126 instances exhibiting tad sanitary conditions had a mortality of but 16, or 1 in 8, while the 144 under good sanitary conditions had a mortality of 26, or 1 in 5 1/4 (Report, Vol. II., p. 35).
