marriages and deaths are compiled by
the secretary, and these are kept In a
card index in his office. There are about
1900 cards in this index. When the
secretary is through with them they are
sent to the state library in Montpelier
A striking testimonial to the efficiency
of the secretary's work was given not
long ago by a government statistlcian
from Washington, who came to YER
mont to speak by invitation of the state
board of health. The records of vital
statistics have to be furnished to the
government. The speaker said that a
few years ago Vermont stood 18th in
the list of states with respect to the
accuracy of the records, but that now
1t ranked third. DR.. Holton has brought
the state up near the top of the list by
constantly keeping after the physicians
and town clerks, many of whom are ex-
asperatIngly dilatory and careless about
supplying the necessary data. Some of
them are so needless that 1t sometimes
is necessary to invoke the assistance of
the attorney generals office to enforce
compliance with the law.
DIR. Holton has had a unique career
in connection with the board of health.
In 1873 he was president of the Vermont
Medical society and in his annual ad-
dress to that organization President
Holton suggested the idea of state
board of health, and in accordance with
his suggestion a committee consisting
of DR.. Butler of Essex, DR.. Putnam OF
pointed to take this matter up with
the legislature. This committee worked
until 1856 before the act was finally
passed creating the board of health.
Previous to this time the bill would pass
one body but die in the other.
