REPORT DEATHS PROMPTLY
Board Of Health to Enforce City
Ordinance With Physicians.

City Physician T. J. Sullivan asks that
an article which appeared in a morning
paper be corrected. The article in 1ues-
tlon attempted to explain that the health
department. was not satisfied with the
way in which deaths are reported by the
physicians and undcrtakers.
"As matter of face the item in the
morning paper was misleading" said the
city physician this afternoon. "There is
city ordinance to the effect that doc
tors shall make out and present death
certificates within IL hours after the per-
son dies. The physicians have grown
careless in this respect and as conse-
quence it has made it hard on the under
takers, who are required to have the
physicians sign the death certificates be-
fore they can procure burial permits
Yesterday a petition signed by the
undertakers was presented at the health
department office asking that physicians
be made to sign death certificates within
the stipulated time and leave them at the
health department office SO that the UNI
dertakers would not have to chase after
the doctors-somctimes for hours at a
time.
Hereafter we intend that this shall
be done and this will prevent further an
noyance with burial permits"
