While the honor and responsibility of
making these returns are great, the
labor has been made as light as possi-
BILE, and the value to the state will be
in proportion to the completeness and
reliability of the returns. The state
and its board of health confidently be-
lieve that you will promptly, cheerfully
and faithfully discharge the duties i'm
posed by this law and thus place Iowa
in the front rank of the registration of
states.
There are 2,42O requisition districts in
Iowa, II towns and cities and 1889 dis
trict townships.
