Hereafter, also, before the dead may be removed from the house in which they die, for burial, it is required that. a burial permit be obtained from the Health Officers, tt is further provided that no person shall receive a permit for burial who does not present to the board of health a certificate of death signed by the attending physician or midwife. In case there is no attending physician or midwife, the Health Officer shall make such certificate, after examination, and charge a fee therefor of one dollar, As the City Recorder is clerk of the board, all birth records willbefiled,and all burial permits issued by her. Physicians, mid wives and the people generally should take note of the requirements of the law, which is now in force. Birth certificates and burial permits are now compulsory and indispensable. This does not relieve physicians and midwives from the necessity of also reporting. all births and deaths to the County Clerk, as heretofore.
