316 MAGDEBURG. During the past 15 years there has been a steady decline in both the birth rate and the death-rate of Magdeburg. The infantile mortality rate, however, has fluctuated considerably, as will be seen from the following Table :— Year/ 1891 1892 1893 1894 1895 No. of child ren dying before reach ing one year of age per 1,000 live-born. 239 269 255 258 272 ¡Year. 1896 1897 1898 1899 1900 No. of child ren dying before reach ing one year of age per 1.000 live-born. 239 263 273 253 267 Year. 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 No. of child ren dying before reach ing one year of age per 1,000 live-born. 244 209 232 253 244 The total area comprised within the municipal boundary of Magdeburg is about 14,000 acres. Of this only 2,100 acres are occupied by buildings together with their yards or gardens. Of the remaining area 2,200 acres are occupied by streets, railways, public recreation grounds, and burial grounds, while 660 acres represent the water surface of the Elbe. The existence of so large an area of water within the precincts of the town is due to the fact that Magdeburg is traversed by two streams, the Elbe proper and the " Old Elbe,” which, before being re-united just within the northern boundary of the town, have formed an island about three miles in length, tapering to a point at one end and gradually widening to a maximum of about a mile towards its southern extremity, where the principal public recreation grounds of the town (the Rotes Horn and the Stadtpark) are to be found. (Indeed except for the Citadel, the municipal harbour and a small residential district, the whole of this large island lying within the municipal area of Magdeburg remains more or less rural in appearance.) The limits of what constituted Magdeburg before 1871 are defined by the left arm of the river Elbe on the east and by a semi-circle of open spaces corresponding to the line originally occupied by the fortifications on the south west and north. Within this limited area, measuring about a mile and half from north to south and about half a mile from east to west, are all the principal business streets and most of the offices of the Municipal and Provincial Administration, as well as the central railway station ; and although the central part of Magdeburg is being gradually deprived of its resident population by migration to the periphery, the process of depletion is much less rapid than in most other German towns. In December, 1905, there were still 56,000 residents in this part of the town, i.e., only 6,000 less than there were 15 years previously. The fact that a considerable proportion of those who still remained were people of the manual labour classes is a circumstance which distinguishes Magdeburg from most of the great German towns, in which the central parts are gradually acquiring a character similar to that of the City in London. This part of Magdeburg is traversed from north to south by two wide, straight business streets, each measuring about 150 feet across and so providing ample room for a double line of electric tramways. These streets, being near the central railway station, are among the first to attract the attention of visitors, and are apt to produce an impression of spaciousness which it takes some further experience of the town to correct. The space between these two main thorough fares and more especially that between the Breiteweg (the chief business street), and the river front (an area corresponding to that between the Strand and the Thames Embankment in London), consists for the most part of old, narrow streets in which the majority of the houses are inhabited from ground floor to attic, and where all that is least satisfactory in the housing conditions of the town is concentrated.
