In the Poor Quarters of Paris.

ersed by endless streets aud broad ave.

Rue Ordener, Rue Curial, Rue Marcadet,
Rue de Belleville, Rue Oberkampf,

Boulevard de Bellevlllc, etc. In these
quarters arc concentrated thirds Of
the population of Paris. On these

For Reforming the System OF ob,aialng
Vital Ststissses-

For Reforming the System OF Obtaining
Vital Statistics.
Secretary Wilson. OF the board OF
health, has plans IN his mind Ter re-
forming birth and death returns 50 ~
To make them of more real practical
value. Ills plan for making returns
from townships. which has already
been mentioned. contemplatss taking
the entire matter out OF the hands ~
the county clerks. His bill pre-
yides for the return OF births
aud deaths by physicians. relatives OF
attendants. 10 the township board OF
health, for which they are 10 receive 10
cents, or 81 the city boards. ia cities.
These boards. according TO the bill. are
required TO make yearly returns to the
state board OF health. Al present the
supervisors report to the county clerk
and receive 10 cents therefor. The
clerk gets cents for recording the re-
turn. and cents more for furnishing a
copy To the secretary Of state. The
latter furnishes tho material for vital
statistics to the state board OF health.
DIR. Wilson argues that tho county
clerk or the secretary of state need
have nothing 10 do with the matter.
The city returns are made to the board
Of health direct, and are again made
several months later, through the
county clerk and secretary of state.
DR.. Wilson will also endeavor to have
10 cents compensation provided for
making returns of births in the city.
The death returns come, as . matter
of course. as burial permits are not
issued until reports are received. The
law requires returns of births, but pro-
vides no compensation therefor. The
present system makes things easy for
some of the city supervisors, who copy
their returns from the board of health
records. DR.. Wilson maintains that
the records would be more accessible
to the public in the township clerks
custody than elsewhere.
