A movement Is on foot, emanating
from Washington, to take the bureaus
of vital statistics away from the de-
partments of state in the various
states and place them under the di.
rection OF the state health bureaus.
The proposition has reached Michi-
gan, and, 1t is understood, that. the
next legislature will be asked to form
ulate some scheme to let the statis-
teal end of the health bureau, which
now comes under the secretary Of
state. be transferred to the state
board of health.
In many states beside Michigan the
question has recently been brought
up. So far no solution has been pre-
sented. as In nearly all of the states
matters Of this sort are controlled
by the legislatures.
From time immemorial the regis.
tration Of deaths and births and the
death certificates which are made out
by the attending physicians and
passed to the undertakers, have been
filed with the secretary OF state. The
doctors complain and insist that such
statistics ought to go to their depart.

tary OF state gives up the figures.
there is nothing that can be done.

The recent meeting OF the state
health officials Of the entire coun.
try in the national capital week or
80 ago. went into the matter to q con.
siderable degree. Nearly all Of the
federal officers stated openly that all
Of the state should follow the federal
plan and have the department OF pub

Of the rules pertaining to the hand,

physicians in the state. All year the
board has had all sorts Of trouble
