CITY PHYSICIANS NEGLIGENT IN REPORTING VITAL STATISTICS Dr. Clesy of the health board seated this morning at the meeting of that body that many local physicians were loath to spend 2 cents a month in re porting births to the health office. Some of them, Dr. Qlesy said, were even BO penurious as to demur to using - their private envelopes. This disposition on the part of some of the physicians causes- considerable trouble and worry in making up tne statistics, tor many of "them fail to get in the reports of births, deaths and contagious diseases until yng after they have occurred. , There is a penalty for failure to re port these statistics. A fine may be given for neglect to report a contagious disease Immediately, and physicians who fall to report deaths and births before tne ena or tne month may also be pen alised. Dr. Olesy thought a 110 fine ad' ministered once in a while for delin quency might have a salutary effect There is a likelihood that Instead of leaving the matter to the pleasure of pnysicians, the report of births and deaths will be made directly from the ramiiy in wnion tney occur. In this, Dr. uiesy Deneves, there will be less trou ble from dilatory physicians. v .
