try DlStrlcC regarding Householder or
Owner of the premises is, in my
opinion ~justifable, as the old system
OF keeping vital statistics has been
changed and the records broken under
the new regime. since the Hospitals are
running ambulances taking women to
the hospitals to be corfined, births are
no longer reported to owners or mana
gers of estates, and | have only been
advised of one death since the new
system that | remember. / Immediately
gave Them a letter reporting the case
to the Hospital as one needing investi-
cation, as sudden deaths of infants a
few weeks old has often occurred there
without seemingly good reason, and |
have threatened to report the mothers
II they did not take better care Of their
babies. | have not heard whether any
thing has been done concerning the case
| reported or not. Formerly the Police
Offices issued a blank form to the es-
tates to be filled in cases of births and
deaths, which as a rule were prompt
ly reported to the Owner or Manager and
the blanks were filled and returned to
the Police Office within a given time.
When | first went to Annaly to live |
was asked by the authorities for a list
of births and deaths, but found that no
record had been kept on the estate, so
commenced a record which | kept up
to the time the new system begun, but
now it is broken and | could not furnish
a complete record for the time | have
lived there.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Town
(Coulter) remarked: Mr.. Chairman.
With regard to this specified case, / have
had information that when the physician
in Frederiksted received the letter he
made investigation; and in the certititi-
cate Of death was shown, cause of death
unknown; death reported eighteen hours
after. The physician said. there could
be no j~ustifiable grounds for suspicion in
that case.
LIST Member for C~hristiansted Country
District [StdkemGnn remarked: Mr..
Chairman. | acknowledge that the pre-
sent law contains this provision, but |
don't believe it was ever put in force.
Formerly we had the police to make
corpse inspection, and we had other
sources of knowing when a child was dead
or born.
Another Question-In former years the
law was, there was to be one midwife in
each of the nine districts of st. Croix:
and consequently we had nine paid mid
wives appointed. and it was incumbent on
them to report to the police the deaths and
births of children in the districtsi in which
they were employed and therefore, the
house owners were not required to re-
