cuss Widening 1t.
A meeting OF the property owners OF
Rrightwcod was held in Brightwood Hall
last night for the purpose of making ar
rangements for the donation of land for
the widening of Brightwood Avenue. The
reconstruction of the electric railroad on
this street has left a driveway of only
twenty feet on either side of the tracks,
and for a long time past the citizens Of
Srigktwood have been trying to provide
for the widening of the road. At present
IL is claimed a farm wagon loaded with
hay cannot pass along the road without
overhanging the car tracks.
Last week the District Commissioners
decided TO have the roadway widened to
ninety feet, and orders were issued 10 that
effect. large sum Of money has been
provided for the work out of the appropria-
tion for the current year, and IL Will COM
mence as soon as the specifications are
drawn up The meeting last night was
called TO order by President Louis p. Shoa-
maker, of the Brightwood Citizens Asso-
citation, who told those present the object
OF the gathering. Blair Lee was chosen to
preside. with Prof. W. Z. Nally as secre-
tary. The matter of donating land for the
proposed improvement appeared 10 meet
with the hearty approval of those present
and il was said that fully 80 per cent of
the properly owners along the road were
in favcr Of the plan. 1t was decided to
canvass the entire section thoroughly and
report at a meeting 10 be held next Friday
night

Physicians and students of mortality
statistics will be interested in learning
OF the work now being accomplished by
the Chief Statistician Of Vital Statistics
of the United States Census, by the au-
thority of the Director, William r. Mer-
riam. 1t is a practical effort, necessarily
OF limited scope, to secure the adoption
of uniform certificate for the return of
deaths and looking toward the establish
ment of a common national system of col
lection of vital statistics for the purpose,
primarily, of the census tables and pub
lications.
Correspondence has been had by the
Chief Statistician, William A. King, with
the officers in charge of mortality regis
tration in the States employing such
system, and in the cities having a popula-
which also collect and register death re-
turns. Complete and accurate information
of the different methods in vogue has been
obtained, and it was found that there is
much unnecessary and objectionable va
Ration, considered from the census point
of view, in the form of official returns.
Having no power to compel co-opera-
time in which to carry out the whole pro-
ject, nevertheless the Census Office un-
dertook to secure the modification or am
plification of the death certificates SO as
to have them include the items necessary
to obtain census data. A model return
form was prepared and submitted, with
layn nj pnrreSnpndpppa tn each ragiS-
tration Office or officer controlling the pre-
paration of the State or local forms
The result has been more important and
gratifying than even the Census Office ex
pected, as not only have the items in the
specimen form been very generally adopted,
but the registration officers have abolished
many practically obsolete local variations
in their certificates, and the latter have
been made to conform to one standard more
nearly than ever before.
The promptness and willingness displayed
by the State and local officers in comply
ing with the request of the Director has
been surprising as well as gratifying. The
benefit that will result to the Census Office
and TO science from this first step toward
the goal of national uniformity Is meal
culable but il will be seen readily that
the study of the natural law of the growth
OF the population is made easier and more
certain.
The Director of the Census confidently ex-
poets that physicians everywhere will ap
preciate the desiTability of the new order
of things, and that they will earnestly and
actively cooperate in securing prompt and
accurate mortality returns of the uniform
character required by Congress and sought
for by statisticians. He recognizes the fact
that failure on the part of physicians to
give vitality 10 the common standard by
carefully reporting the items that may be
new 10 their certificate will be fatal to the
end in view.
