BIRTHS ARE NOT RECORDED
Dr. wilbur Says 1t Is Because the Law for
That Purpose Is Absolutely
Worthless.

Lansing. Mich. Nov. 20. - Or. c.
l.. Wilbur, chief Of department of vital
statistics in the secretary of states Of
fee, declares that the law for the
enumeration Of births is absolutely
worthless, or even worse, because il is
misleading. Scarcely more than half
of the births are reported He says
the supervisors, who are supposed To
make inquiry relative TO births during
the assessment Of property in April
and May, but that they fail to reach
many families, some of which have
moved away. They fail to secure the
facts in regard to many births con
corning which there should have been
no difficulty and there are so many
plumbers and Measurements i'm the re-
ports secured that they are of no
value.
DIR. Wilbur quotes a letter from a
citizen of Alger county who recently
had occasion to look over the record
of births in the count yclerks office
The writer said: In 1892, June 3. a
girl was born to us i'm OnOta township;
her name is Ruth May. The records
referred to show that it was boy and
give the name as George. We have
no boy at all This is bad mistake
and might in years TO come be q source
Of trouble TO our daughter i'm proving
who she is. VIII YOU kindly look the
matter up and have it correctedF'
