Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report Relating to the Registry and Return of Births, Marriages and Deaths in Michigan for the Year 1894 Many criticisms have been made of the imperfections of the present law, which has remained upon the statute books without alteration or improvement since 1869. Great advances have been made in the mean time in our knowledge of the requirements of registration, and it there fore seems fitting that some action should be taken by the Legislature to place the collection of vital statistics upon a satisfactory basis. It is not necessary or desirable that any more money should be expended in this direction, but rather, by the substitution of a scientific and economical system for our present wasteful and imperfect one, we may obtain more timely and satisfactory data without additional cost. In the Introductory Remarks of this and the immediately preceding Reports, a full account will be found of the specific imperfections of the present law, together with suggestions as to the essential features of an improved system. A committee of the State Medical Society, with the cooperation of the State Conference of Health Officers, will, I under stand. Present a bill for the immediate registration of deaths and the requirement of certificates of deaths throughout the State, as now in use in most of our cities under local ordinances. This bill has been carefully examined in this Department and compared with existing legis lation in other States, and I feel sure that it would prove efficient and economical in operation.
