Tho b.rih rata of the Springfield
district has shown a, steady In
crease In the last five years ac
cording to the vital statistics kept
by Dr. W.. H. Pollard, city health
officer' and registrar' for the
Springfield district. Dr. -Pollard
1b appointed by the state board of
1 health. .He took off.ee In June,
1921. The records show a slight
Increase In the death rate of the
d.str.ct and of the city of Spring
field. . However the births have
gained considerable on the deaths.
The Spr ngf ield district, of
which Dr. Pollard has charge, In
cludes Donna, Walter-villa, Jasper,
Goshen, Pleasant Hill, Lowell and
up the Willamette river as far as
Oakrldge;. also Vida. and Leaburg.
The statistics compiled from the
record of 1825 are fairly accurate
estimates of the birth and -'death
rates of Springfield. The popula
tion of the olty has remained prac-
ticaly the same however. . 1
The b.rth rate shows a dedided
increase over that of 1924 and Is
the biggest Increase since 1922 In
which year a total Increase In. the
births was 21. This year 12 were
registered over- the number of
192. -

The largest number In any bile
month this year was 14 in Septem
ber. - The fall months seem to be
the ones- when- the birth, rate was
the highest all the way through
the B-X years. Fourteen' births
were .registered ' for Septembers
, 1926 as the highest number and
12 for October. : - s
. The death statistics for 'the' dis
trict In- the last six, year shows a
very marked fluctuation. In 1921
the rate was practically the''8ame
as in 1924- and in 1920 and 1922
the rate was .very low. In' 1926' 'ap
proximately 67' deaths were regis
tered1 -In the district according .to
the nearly complete data available.'
In 1924 there-wa& 65. The increase
' has been very slight. In 1921
however; ft jumped with a 40 per
cent increase. '
