Public Documents Of The State Of Connecticut 1899 Vol 4 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Public Documents of the State of Connecticut, Vol. 4: Part I. 1920 The Bureau of Vital Statistics is charged with the collee tion of birth, marriage and death certificates, the compilation of data secured therefrom, and the preservation of these records for reference. The demand for statistical data during the War was so great as to seriously interfere with the regular work of this bureau. For the same reason, and because of special Influenza statistics, but very little has been done toward bringing back reports up to date. It may be recalled that when this bureau was organized, it took over work which was several years in arrears. Since May, 1920, when the punch card service was discontinued, the work of this bureau has necessarily fallen behind. Complete and accurate statistical data are essential for the proper interpretation of the health of a state or community and for the measuring of the efficacy of protective agencies. Sufficient funds should be provided to enable this bureau to render prompt and efficient service. It is desired to call attention to the deplorable condition of the vital records of the state. The department of health now has over a million records of birth, marriage and death in its custody which should be so filed and preserved as to serve the purpose intended, but these valuable records are now stored in wooden boxes in the attic of the Capitol, unprotected and useless for reference.
