Publishing Birth Records
There was short discussion on s.
%, relating to the publication of birth
records by town clerks, before it went
to a third reading. Senator Cady inter
rogated the committee on public health
as to the provisions of the bill SEN
ator Slayton replied that the measure
was intended to give publicity to births
in order that fuller records may be
kept. He said that we now have our
marriage and death-records practically
han haaV
deal Of difficulty in getting the birth
records reported There is a law re-
curing physicians to report births, but
Il has not worked out in every case, so
the records are far from complete Sen
ator Slayton said that the idea Of hay
ing the records published in the town
reports was to bring about better en-
forcement of the law through pub
licity
Senator Cady thought that there
might be cases where this law would
be very embarrassing. Senator Slayton
said that the committee had purposely
recommended that the names OF the
parents be omitted He thought there
would be very few cases where any
embarrassment would follow, and he
thought the law would work out well.

went to third reading with but few
dissenting votes.
