The present Statistical Annual of the city of Buenos Aires for the year 1913, is the XXIII, which, owing to its scientific, administrative, and infor- mative nature, enlightens us upon the municipal distribution, instituted for that purpose. The most important fact which naturally attracts the reader's attention, is that relative to the increase of the population of this municipality — an increase, which we have already demonstrated, as being one of the highest recorded among our contemporary cities. In the year under our observation, the population which, on December 31
1912, was composed of 1 428 042 inhabitants, reached, upon the same date in 1913, the number of 1484 010, which proves a nett increase of 55968 souls, or in other words, a percentage of 3.9 per annum. This percentage of increase is somewhat lower to what the population of Buenos Aires has recorded during various periods, especially that which was recorded the previous year, viz, 4.9 °/o. But this fact, without any doubt is of purely a transitive character, whose economic conditions are swayed by the egress of a numerous foreign population. Putting aside this fact, the law of increase has to follow on imperatively as in the best periods, since, as one can prove, the vegetative growth on its side, does not disminish. The demographic movement of the city of Buenos Aires during the last two decades, is represented by the following figures

These figures seem to prove, the tendency which one observes in all con^ temporaneous cities, of a progressive disminutive birthrate; due to various reasons, more attributable to that of a social economical character, than to a physiological one. Eminent demographers like Levasseur and others who have studied this phenomenon in France and in other nations, have come to the
conclusion that the continual decadence of the birthrate is brought about more by psychological than physical reasons, or in other words, that the will of the
inhabitants is the principal factor. In Buenos Aires one observes a decrease of
5.58 per 1 000 inhabitants in the mediate of the birthrate recorded during the last
two decades. But before coming to a definite conclusion, it would be advisable
to increase the list of our records extended over a greater number of years. We will content ourselves for the present with pointing out this fact for futuro demographical studies. We state, in the meant'me, that during the year 1913, the livebirths reached the figure of 50 foo, which among a population of 1 4S4 010 inhabitants, gives
us a birthrate of 34.16 per 1 000.
Allowing that this birthrate is low, comparing it with what the same city
of Buenos Aires recorded in other times, it is nevertheless a high one, taking into account the figures published by many important cities during 1913; that is to say, as far as we are able to judge by glancing through the following comparative table. : 13 .

The illegitimate births, which according to some moralists, serve as an index to measure the standard of morality of the various cities, do not demonstrate any notable progress in Buenos Aires, and very much less, can an inferior position be awarded to this city, in comparison with other civilized capitals. In the decade (1894-1903), 14.6 per cent illegitimate births were registered, and in the following decade (1904-1913), 13.3 per cent. These are the averages which this city has recorded during many periods of its demographical life. The following are the figures of illegitimacy

The marriages contracted in 1913 amounted to 13 731, which among a popu- lation of 1 848 010, gives us a marriage rate percentage of 9.29 per 1 000 inhabi- tants.
As it has been demonstrated in various numbers of this Annual, this mar- riage rate percentage is high, if the records of other contemporaneous cities are taken into account.
The most important of all the studies which the demography has realized, is without any doubt, that which has reference to the death rate; because it re- veals in an irrefutable manner, to what point the laws which govern the san- itary life of a civilized community are fulfilled, and indicates to the autho- I

rities, whose mission it is to destroy those germs which undermine the public health, the road they ought to follow in order to obtain this beneficial result. Happily, in Buenos Aires, the statistical demography proves a continuos and healthy diminution of mortality, if ones compares, not with what this city pre- sented thirty or forty years ago, before it had experienced the beneficial in- fluence of the great sanitary works recently constructed, but that which is manifested in the last two decades.
Nevertheless : if one observes which was the mediate of the mortality during the decade (1894-1903), we find it reaches 18.84 Per 1000 inhabitants; whereas, in the following decade (1904-1913), it only reached to 15.80. This mortality rate placed Buenos Aires in a most favourable position com- pared with other important cities, which can be judged by studying the following table.

By this table, one sees, that the cypher of 15.5 per 1 000 inhabitants which is the deathrate of Buenos Aires, is not the lowest, nor yet the highest ; but occu- pies an intermediate position among the above contemporary cities.
The satisfactory decrease in the general mortality in Buenos Aires is owing,
to the result of a great sanitary progress : to a marked diminution of deaths in childbirth, as also by those of a contagious nature. Deaths during infancy up to one year of age for the decade (1883-1893), are recorded as 19.2 per 100 infants born alive; although in the following decade (1893-1903), they disminished to 10.7; and in the following decade
(1903-1913), to 9.9. The next table gives us some idea of the number of yearly deaths occurring during the first infancy from 1873 to 1913, and in it we shall observe the decrease that has taken place. 1

The place which Buenos Aires occupies in the International Statistics on account of its early infantile deaths, is very satisfactory, above all when one takes into consideration that the birth rate is always very high, — a fact which the following figures will prove.

Deaths from contagious diseases, show a most important decrease. This end has been obtained in the first place, by the progressive sanitary works which the authorities during the past twenty years have completed ; consisting prin- cipally of a vast network of drains, and the ample supply of water; and in the second place, by the progress made by private people in the construction of their houses. If, without unduly making too high a comparison, we take as our stanting point the decade (18S4-1893), we find that for every 10 000 inhabitants that died 39.4 were from contagious diseases ; whereas in the following decade
( 1 894- 1903 ) the number was 13.6; and in this last decade (1904-1913) only
8.0 : figures which denote a marked improvement. The following table points out this progress, starting from the year 1874.
'Among 10 000 inhabitants, how many victims did the following epidemic diseases claim annually?" — typhoid fever, smallpox, measles, scarlatina, whooping-cough, diptheria, and croup. How many by pulmonary tuberculosis?

Among the deaths which have been caused by contagious diseases, smallpox, formerly was responsible for a great number. Fortunately, during the past few years, deaths from this source have stea- dily decreased ; being a result of the general sanitary progress, and the greater spread of the vaccination theory. In the two following tables, the deaths from smallpox are clearly defined, and the percentage which they have general populacion.

In the last 30 years (1887-1913), n 493 persons of different ages died through smallpox; among these, 3724 were infants under two years of age, that is to say, they contributed a 32.4 fo, equivalent approximately to a third part of the deaths from smallpox. Among the deaths which every day attract the earnest attention of the scien-
tific men belonging to all civilized countries, are those caused by cancer ; thai
terrible scourge which seems destined to exterminate the human race, such is
the rapidity and intensity of its propagation in every clime, and the many cruel
ways in which it declares itself. Even up to the present moment, science which
is diligently endeavouring to discover the ethiology of the evil, has been unable
to exterminate or even diminish its ravages. In Buenos Aires, the same as in all modern cities, the deaths caused by cancer have multiplied in a most alarming manner. In the decade (1884-1893), 74 out of 100 000 inhabitants died of cancer. The following decade (1894-1903), 81. And in the last decade (1904-1913), 89 out of 100 000 died from the same cause.

The study of deaths in general according to our nosographic classification, proves, that diseases of the respiratory organs are those which claim the most number of victims ; followed in sequence by those of the digestive system, the circulatory system, and lastly those of the nervous and sensory organs. The following table shows the number of deaths according to our nosographic classification, which have taken place in the last decade.

After the data relative to the demographic or vital movement of the pop-
ulation, the next in importance is that which refers to the public alimentation. Unfortunately, owing to the deficiences of the sources from which the
Statistical Office draws its information, it is only possible to present a portion of the products and articles which go to form the alimentation of the inhabitants. ;
STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES XXV
The other portion, very important in itself, is barely taken into account by the Statistical Office. Limiting ourselves to that which shows a minute inventory, we are able to state that in 1913, — 237868 bullocks and oxen, 125 150 cows, 96975 calves, 523064 sheep, and 87931 pigs, were killed for the consumption of the pop- ulation in the slaughter houses. The freezing establishments, according to data submitted by the Adminis- tration of the cattle yards, accounted for 204458 bovines and 2190 calves; 158809 sheep; and 2354580 kilos of pork flesh, hams, and pressed meats; as well as 5 175 292 kilos of grease, etc. Converting the meat consumed in 1913 into kilos, by which we calculate, according to the general average adopted by the Municipal Statistical Office, that the weight of the utilizable part of an ox or a cow is 240 kilos, that of a calf
90 kilos, a sheep or lamb 25 kilos, a pig 90 kilos ; we make a grand total of 174 438 556 kilos. Dividing these figures by the total number of the population, viz, 1 494010 inhabitants, we get a result of 117 kilos for each person, or in other words, 323 grammes per head per day. This result is 21 kilogrammes per year, and 63 grammes per day lower than the average taken the previous year of 1912. With the object of verifying if this decrease in the consumption of meat is a reality, or attributable to some error, we have approached the source from which the Statistical Office derives its information, viz, the Administration of Public Slaughter Houses, and we have found that the industrious chief of this division, in his memorandum which he presented to the head office of the Municipality, shows during the past three years, a marked decrease in the slaughter of animals for the consumption of the population.
This is at once apparent by glancing at the following figures.

Investigating what were the primary causes of this decrease in the con- sumption, we can only come to the following conclusion. Firstly the enhanced value of cattle and sheep, principally due to the great demand from abroad and secondly, the hardships of life caused by the economic and financial changes, which have swept over the country during the last three years.
Furthermore, not only in the Capital but all over the country, the decrease
in the consumption of cattle and sheep, is particularly noticeable. XXVI STATISTICAL YEAR -BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES
Competent experts consider that many millions of kilogrammes of meat are consumed less all over the country for the above two reasons. Besides meat, a great quantity of more expensive articles are placed upon the market, for the use of the better or. well to do classes. These articles, concretely, are as follows.

Besides the products which are disposed of in the markets, there are others which are obtainable by the poorer classes in the free fairs. These latter were established by the Mayor of the Municipality and have proved a great success. These fairs do not pay any rates or taxes, like the other markets and shops of the city ; and the products which are placed within reach of all the inhabitants, are found in considerable quantities. In the year 1913 these products reached the following figures.

The milk which is consumed in Buenos Aires, as we have already said in other numbers of this Annual, is provided mostly from the rural dairies near the city ; and in lesser quantity from those established in the city itself. With regards to the milk supplied by the rural "dairies, the railways have issued a statement, that in 1913, the following quantities were carried for the consumption of the population. .

From these figures we gather that in 191 3, the daily supply of milk provided for the supply of the Capital, was 634055 litres. Besides this, the Rly. Companies carried daily, an average of 21 804 kilo; of cream. After a minute investigation as to the supply of milk from the city dairies, we estimate it to be about 20 000 litres daily. Taking all this into account, we are able to state that the daily average consumption of milk by the population of Buenos Aires in 1913, was 654055 litres.
Bread is another food, which conjointly meat and milk, is considered indis- pensable for the inhabitants. In 1913, the consumption of bread was represented by 138378 131 kilos of elaborated flour; but as we have said, the real consump- tion is greater, since the Statistics of Paris calculate that 100 kilos of unelabo- rated flour is equal to 128 kilos of bread. But, confining ourselves alone to the figures indicated by the flour, we find that in 1913, each inhabitant of Buenos Aires consumed 93.25 kilos of bread.
Water is another alimentary and sanitary element of the first order. In 1913, 70180340 kilolitres were consumed, which gives a daily average of 130 litres per inhabitant.
This average is almost the same as that taken in 1912, viz, 129 litres.
In the last five years the consumption of water is represented by these figures.

In five years the consumption of water increased by 12 millions of kilolitres
This increase is far from satisfying the needs of the population, as theie XXVIII STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES
are still some districts of the Municipality, which do not yet benefit from this great sanitary element ; but the expensive works, which the Sanitary Adminis- tration, under the national government control, are just completing, will insure in the near future an adequate supply of water. The data about the economic movement which the Annual records, shows a depression in every class of business. The business done on the Stock Exchange during 1913, totalled 284 millions of dollars, or in other words, a decrease of 102 millions of dollars than the pre- vious year. These operations were transacted, according to value, in the following way: national mortgage bonds, 191. 5 millions of dollars; bonds and public funds 23.6 millions; Limited Companies (shares, debentures and certificates). 69.1 millions of paper dollars. In the last decade, the amount of business transacted on the Stock Exchange of Buenos Aires, is given in the following table.

The transfers of properties also shared the same depression. They amounted to in 1913, 271 millions of dollars, against 342 millions o fthe previous year a decrease of 71 millions of dollars. In 1913, 15206 properties, covering a surface of 5670325 sq. metres, were sold for the value of 271 millions of dollars. The Clearing House, does not record a decrease in its total amount of business,
as one would imagine ; taking into account the general economic depression ; since the compensations of 1913 totalled 17652 millions against 6889 millions of 1912.
But this flattering result is only apparent. It is exclusively due to the fact, that at the end of 1912, some important banking institutions, incorporated themselves with the Clearing House, whom up to that time had remained apart, owing to that institution being controlled by a private bank. This compensating office, having passed under the control of the Bank of the
Nation by a friendly arrangement with all the existing banks in the Capital,
was logically compelled to increase the volume of its business from one year to another. The condition of the discounting banks in Buenos Aires, presents the following figures. The amount of deposits on Dec. 31st 1913, was 36 131 879 of gold dollars, STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES against 29047464 on the same date 1912; which indicates a difference of 7084415 in favour of the year just ended, against that of the previous year. The deposits in paper dollars in 1913, reached the sum of 1 381 397 386, and those of 1912, 1 414898846, which is a balance in favour of this last year of 33 501 460 of paper dollars. As regards the credits and discounts in 1913, 2S 733 339 of gold dollars, and 1 475 514784 of paper dollars were entered. Those entered in 1912, were 29 100484, and 1 466299034, of gold and paper dollars respectively. In short, the monetary funds existing in the banks upon Dec. 31 1913, were 61 737 039 of gold, and 435 343 185 of paper dollars. The formation of Limited Companies with commercial and industrial views in end, according to the General Commercial Register, accounted for a capital of 135997840 of gold, and 115 318628 of paper dollars. The following are the commercial industries, into which these Limited Com- panies, invested their capital.

In 1913, the railways which have their point of departure in the Municipality, carried 34961268 passengers between the different stations; an increase of 4 millions over 191 2. In 1913, the electric tramway companies, whose lines cover an extension of
722 kilometers, carried 412 millions passengers. This is an increase of 30 millions over the previous year. The carriages and automobiles were also most useful in conveying people from one point to another in the urban radius. On Dec. 31st 1913, 5957 carriages were in circulation, classified as follows: 1 652 private carriages; 1 120 from livery stables; and 3 185 cabs.
If one compares these figures with those which the Statistics show for 19 12, we find a most important decrease of 8 562 carriages. STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES

As regards the automobiles, which have been greatly utilized by the public, 7179 were in circulation on Dec. 31st 1913: 3240 private, and 3939 taxi-cabs. Comparing these figures with those of the previous year, we have the following result.

The primary education, directed by a national Council of education, is obli- gatory and free for all children of 6 to 14 years of age throughout the Republic. In Buenos Aires, 133 180 children were matriculated in 1913. The city of Buenos Aires alone accounted for an increase of 30 000 children in the period
of five years (1909-1913) ; and this figure alone is eloquent enough to demons- trate the meritorious labours, which the public authorities have exercised, to spread the invaluable benefits of the primary education among the popular masses
all over the country ; and principally in this great centre of national culture.
The secondary education is divided into normal, commercial and industrial or technical. There exist six establishments, under the name of the National College, which are situated in various districts of the municipality, wherein during the year
191 3, 3 153 young students matriculated, in order to follow the studies of the secondary education. Within the same classification of education, are eight n secondary ( ormal schools which are open, seven for girls, and one for men. During the year 1913, 6044 students matriculated in these normal schools.
The education of women, is a subject to which the public, authorities give special attention. They have a National Lyceum for girls, and a Commercial School for women, with day and night classes. In the former, 281 were enrolled, and in the latter 213. The same public authorities have wished to endow the women, especially those
of limited means, with professional or special manual attainments ; in order that they may be able to gain their livelihood in an independant and dignified manner. With this practical end in view, the public authorities, to whom sufficient STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES XXXI
praise cannot be given, founded in Buenos Aires, five professional schools of
Works and Arts ; dedicated solely for the use of women, in which i 245 were enrolled.
For men there is an Industrial School, which is a model establishment not
only for its theoretical, but for the practical teaching in its laboraties and work shops, which are fitted up with the very latest inventions. In 1913, 608 students were enrolled in this Industrial School. Considering that an artistic education is just as necessary, for a cultured and well organized society, as a professional or industrial one, the public authorities have established a national Academy of Fine Arts, in which drawing, painting, and sculpture are taught.
But all the labours and sacrifices, which the public authorities have made to
extend the benefits of the first, second, and technical education, and to raise in general the standard of national culture, would have remained incomplete, il they had not extended a protecting hand over a disinherited class, — a class weighed down by a cruel misfortune, and unable to enjoy the pleasures of contac with their fellow creatures — we refer to the blind and deaf and dumb. In the city of Buenos Aires there is one national institution for the blind, and two for the deaf and dumb. To the pleasing side of this picture, we must unfortunately present the corresponding black and melancholy one, upon which the impressions of the lives of persons and societies, are imprinted with an astonishing rapidity.
The table of crime for 191 3, shows an increase of 1 582 transgressions against persons and properties, over the year 1912. In five years, from 1909 to 1913, murders and crimes increased from 9273 to 14894. An increase of 60 %. Forming a contrast with these sinister statistics of crime and misdemeanors, are those pleasing and agreeable statistics of sports and entertainments, which are unfolded in the pages of this Annual.
The theatres and cinematographs of Buenos Aires gave in 1913, 54882 per- formances, at which 16044090 persons were present, representing a sum of 14890237 paper dollars. Of all the various entertainments which are offered for the public taste, the cinematograph is by far the most popular. Cheapness of the seats, and the varied programmes of pictures exhibited, are no doubt accountable for this fact. At the same time, the halls in which these performances take place, are as a rule, very elegantly and comfortably furnished, and provided with an excellent orchestra. Over a total of 16 millions of spectators, the cinematographs accounted for 11 millions, or a 68 %. The operettas shared with the cinematographs, the public favour, although in a far lesser degree; being patronised by 910434 spectators. Spanish comedies and dramas occupy the third place, with 814 910. The grand opera, with its distinguished artistical performances, only drew 511 220 spectators. Undoubtably, it is very expensive and is only intended for a very limited number of societv. The statitics of sports, show, that on the racecourse of the Capital during 191 3, 108 meetings took place, in which 87 races were rum, 1 052 horses taking part, covering a distance of 1 592 600 metres. Upon these races 121 millions of dollars XXXII STATISTICAL YEAR-BOOK OF THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES
were speculated, which is only 7 millions more than the year 1912, but in com- parison with the last five years, shows the following appreciable result.
