To Town Clerk Houlihan the editor is indebted for a copy of the May Bull letin of the State Board of Health. Dr Lindsley>hits up the doctors of the state in the following fashion:
 From much correspondence with those who are required by law to ren- der certificates of death, it is very ev- ident that some of them believe that they are obliged by law to declare the cause of death in every instance, whether they know the cause or not. Indeed some of them have admitted holding that opinion. The unreason- ableness of it is at once apparent when it is remembered that tbere are many deaths respecting which the attend ing circumstances are not known, and the previous history of the cases can not be learned with sufficient accuracy to make diagnosis. In such instances the law surely does not require the doctor to state what he does not know to be true. The only thing he can properly do is write Cause Unknown. Again, when doctors give as cause of death only symptoms of disease such as "Dropsy, :" "Exhaustion," "Asphyx- ia," "Hendorrhage,' "Tumor," etc., which terms are utterly useless for classification and sanitary purposes,

upon Dr Gill with a grievance. The
DOCTORS neckbands were too long for
her Ideas of ministerial humility. and
after a long harangue on the sin OF
pride she intimated that she had
brought a pair Of scissors with her

down to her notions OF propriety.
The doctor not only listened pa
tiently, but handed over the offend
ing white bands to be operated upon.
When she had cut them to her salts
faction and returned the bibs II was
the Doctors turn.
Now" said he. you must do me

"Yes. that will, doctor. What can

Editor Herald

Editor Herald
In your paper of yesterday appears
an item TO the effect that the city
council contemplated issuing $4,000
tefunding bonds bearing FIVE and one.
half per cent interest, and s33, 900
bearing six per cent interest The
item is an error. The present out.
standing bonds which are proposed 10
be refunded consist of $4,000 RE
funding Water Bends" issued March
/, 1899 bearing 51s per cent interest
and s33. 900 Funding Bonds" issued
May /. 1899, bearing per cent inter
est.
It is now proposed to retire botn
those issues and issue in lieu thereof
$4s. 900 1920 ''Refunding Bonds" bear.
ing 4h per cent interest.
The city pays at present s2,so5 pei
| year on the bonds now proposed to be
| refunded. II will pay s2,160 per year
on the new bonds, making a saving
of $645 per year in case the proposi-
ton carries.
This has nothing to do with the
$l5O00O bonds issued March l. 1903
nor the 100000 reiundiDg water
bonds issued Dec. J. 1904. Both these
last bear per cent interest.
Please make this correction SO thai
the people may understand the true
situation when they come to vote or
the question. Yours truly.
