STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council,

From reports received at the Office Of
the State registrar of vital statistics
il Wodid seem that some of the phySi-
Clans If the State are IA triflc dilatory
in their work Of making returns of the
births and deaths which have occurred
durinS the year just closed which they
are required by law to make to the
city or town clerk of the place in which
they reside. and also that the delay IS
MT To cause them some Inconvenience
If not expense.
Tho law under which physicians are
required To make the returns is Chap
ter 81 of the Revised Statutes. Section
~ of the chapter providing that the
physician. accoucheur. midwife or 9TH
or person in charge who shall attend
the birth Of any child. living or still
born, within the limits of any city or
town i'm the State shall report to the
clerk of such city or town within six
days all the facts regarding such birth.
Section IS of the same chapter provides
for the payment of a fee of - cents by
the city or town to the attending ply
stefan where a birth or death is duly
reported.
Section 81 of the chapter requires the
city or town clerks to keep a chrono-
logical record of the births. marriages
and deaths for each year. and to re-
port the same TO the registrar of vital
statistics prior to Dec. 81 of that year
and as Il rule the requirements are
carried out, but in some cases the re-
ceipt of the reports is delayed and it
will be about two weeks before all of
the rcports Of the past year will have
been received.
OF course in some cases the delay
may he due to the lack of attention to
the matter. on the part of the city or
town clerk, but it is more often due
to the failure on the part of the physi-
clan. for one cause or another to make
the proper returns to the clerk. This
causes much Inconvenience to fhe
