and deaths in Brown County for the
years 1886 and 1887. The first are ia

are copied from the report of the State
Board of Health and Vital Statistics.

report directly to the State board. The
change in the law governing the reports
Of births and deaths has not worked to
advantage. Either the town officers
were negligent in reporting births or

in this county alone. The law should
be abolished at once.
