The Honorable Foreman and Gentle men, Grand Jury. Baldwin Superior Court, Milledgeville, Ga. Sirs: In .accordance with the acts of the Legislature at their last session, and under the provisions of the Vital Statistics Law, Section 21, the Direc tor of the Bureau of Vital Statistics desires that all authorities concerned in the collection of vital statistics, that is birth and death records, and Tccords of communicable and con tagious diseases, be cautioned and warned to conform strictly with the provisions; of that law in order to escape the sure penalty by the State Department for violation of the same. I pray you therefore that in your presentments to the Court, you issue warning to all district registrars, physicians, midwives, undertaker*, and all other parties concerned in the reporting of births, deaths, and dis eases, that they conform strictly with I the vital statistics law, for it might be an embarasring penalty to some of | these citizens failing to conform to I the law, and surely to those who utterly ignore it. Thanking your earnest attention in : this matter Gentlemen of the Grand I Jury, I remain. Most respectfully, SAM A. ANDERSON, M. I). Commissioner of Health, | Baldwin County. Georgia- ' 1928.
