FLORIDA PLACED
ON FEDERAL LIST
Is Granted Admission to Death Reg
istration Area.

Jacksonville, Oct. 14.-Efforts of the
vital statistics department of the State
Board of Health extending over two
years, were crowned with success this
week, when a wire reached DIR. Stewart
c. Thompson, vital statistician, from
Samuel Rogers, director of the United
States Bureau of Census. stating that
Florida has been admitted to the death
registration area. A state is admitted
to the death area when it can show at
least 80 per cent of the deaths report
ed.
Admission to the area gives Florida
the honor of being the ninth southern
state and the thirty-third state in the
union to win this distinction. She pre-,
cedes Georgia in entering the death
registration area. She is also the third
largest state in point of territory to
enter the area.
To determine Florida's right to ad-
mission to the area, the United States
Bureau of Census sent two agents to
Jacksonville a month ago to make a
check of the death records on file i'm
the vital statistics department. Befor.
beginning their work the agents, James
G. Mitchell and E. Lackey, combed the
state for reports of deaths, utilizing
other avenues of information than
those at the command of the state
board Of health.
The fact that the population of the
state is SO widely scattered and that
there are so many rural communities
only sparcely settled, has made 1t par
ticularly hard for the vital statistics
department to get complete reports on
deaths. In view of this and of the fact
that 81 unreported deaths would have
barred Florida from the area, 1t is con-
sidered a significant achievement for
this state to have been the thirty third
to standardize it's death rate.
DIR. Thompson had the honor of as
sisting in placing Kansas in the area
in 1914, and declares he will immetli-
ately start the work of getting Florida
in the birth registration area.

DOLLAR IS FOR
INSPECTION OF
SAFETY DEVICES
CITY IMPOSES NO REGISTRATION
FEE ON MOTOR VEHICLES BUT
REQUIRES ALL AUTOS TO BE
INSPECTED.

The recently enacted inspection or
dinance, which requires the chief of
police to inspect all automobiles to see
that brakes. lights, etc are in work.
ing order, collecting therefor a fee of
one dollar has been construed as reg
istration fee. and an attempt on the
part of the city officials to evade the
state law which prohibits the city from
collecting such fees.
City Attorney John B. Jones says the
inspection fee is not a registration fee
and was not intended as such, but is,
as the ordinance indicates. a fee for
inspection solely. The city's position
according to Mr.. Jones, is that all au
toists should be glad to know that the
brakes on other cars are in working
order.
Provision for registering cars is al
ready contained in an ordinance which
provides that motorists may register
their cars with the comptroller upon
payment of a fee of two dollars. This
is not compulsory. The inspection is
compulsory, however. and the fee mus,
be paid.
The registration fee imposed by this
act shall be in lieu of any, county or
on any motor driven vehicle, provided
that all counties and municipalities
may charge an additional license tax
on all motor driven vehicles used for
hire, which additional tax shall not
exceed fifty per cent of the state IL
cense tax.

CENSUS TAKING HAS
NO BEARING ON TAX

Washington, Oct 14-"That the
facts and figures gathered by the
enumerators, supervisors and special
agents of the fourteenth decennial
census will have absolutely nothing
to do with valuation of property for
taxation purposes is a point / desire
to emphasize with all possible vigor."
said Director of the Census Sam. L.
Rogers today in speaking of the forth
coming 1920 enumeration
Some difficulty has been expert
enced in the past" continued Mr.
Rogers, lin getting absolutely accu-
rate values of land and other proper
ty because of a certain amount oN
confusion over this point. Many peo-
pie were enormously inclined to con-
meet the census with taxation. We
hope to avoid any such confusion this
time"
The act of congress which. under the
constitution. provides for the taking of
the fourteenth decennial census makes
it unlawful for any enumerator spe-
cial agent, supervisor or other en-
ployee of the census bureau to di-
vulge and information whatsoever
concerning the census returns a
heavy fine and possible Imprisonment,
or both. is the penalty prescribed for
violation of this provision of the law.
The proper tabulated figures of the
census are given out nowhere but
here in Washington and then only
upon the express authority of the di-
rector of the census bureau.
Actual work by the enumerators in
the various census districts will begin
on January 2, 1920. 1t is expected
that the population statistics of all
cities and towns will be gathered in
approximately two weeks. Final fig
ures for rural districts. however, can
hardly be gathered in less than a
month.
