Rev. H. S. May Gets state Office.
Rev. H. S. May has been appointed
local registrar of vital statistics for this
borough, and hereafter all physicians
and midwives will be compelled to re-
port to him all births in the borough,
as well as all deaths now legally
provided for.
The reports are exhaustive,and there
is a big lot of information required.
The physicians have all been supplied
with the necessary blanks and will be
ready to comply with the law. Failure
to report su birth within ten days will
subject the offender to a fine of not
less than five nor more than fifty dol-
lars. In the case of death certificates,
the last physician attending the de-
ceased must make out the certificate.
At this time we have not yet seen the
complete list of local registrars for
Somerset county, but there is one of-
ficer of that kind in each borough, and
some of them, we understand, also have
jurisdiction over one or more adjoin-
ing townships.
Where there is a board of health it
is customary to appoint the secretary
of such board as local registrar, hence
the appointment of Rev. May, who was
elected secretary of a board of health
organized in this borough two years
ago. However, our local health board
has been a dead letter nearly ever
since it was organized. At least two of
the members handed in their resigna-
tion long ago, and while at least one
new member has been appointed, be
refuses to serve and has never been
sworn in. The fact is our board of
health has long been defunct, and so
far as the practical part of such a board
is concerned, we have had no health
board for nearly or quite two years.
Even during the typhoid fever epi-
demic that raged here all last summer,
our so-called health board took mo
steps whatever to stamp out the dis-
ease. But, after all, if our health board
has not been useful, it has at any rate
not been harmful. Therefore, let ms
be thankful, for the average board of
health in country towns is a public
nuisance, non-beneficial and good only
to pile up debt for the citizens to pay.
