AS no index cards have been re-
ceived from the secretary of state OF,
fee for the tabulation of the vital
statistics of the town from its organlza-
tion to 1857 and for the year 1868 Town
Clerk Hopkins is wondering how he Is
to comply with the law which was en-
acted at the last session of the leglsia-
ture. The law says that the work must
be completed not later than Oct, !,
1911. Mr.. Hopkins said yesterday that
It would be physical impossibility to
compile the statistics in two months as
much of the data must be secured from
other sources than the town records.
The town clerk made requlsltlon Tor
II 900 cards and not receiving them at
ter number of months made a request
TO be allowed to use the regular index
cards used in his office for compiling
statistics. The secretary of state would
not authorize the use of such cards so
the work is held up.
