NEW VITAL STATISTICS RULE.
How Marriages and Births May Be
Registered When Not Reported.

The County Board of Health has estao-
lished a rule that in cases where pny-
sicians neglect to make return of births
the births may be registered by affldavlt
of the parents. A great deal of trouble
has been caused by the failure OF phy-
sicians to make returns of births. rms
is particularly so in cases of inheritance,
when no record can be found by which the
legatee can officially establish his or her
identity.
The same rule applies to marriages in
cases where the officiating clergyman dies
before making his returns. The marriage
can be recorded by affidavit of the inter-
ested parties.
