Db.\r Sib,â€" At the lust session of the Ontario Leghdatjre, the act re legistra- tioii jf bi;''ln., uiarriaues and Jeaihs, as I have no doubt you uio aware wae re- pealed and a new act passea. Aniouust the pi'jvisioiis of the new act I tind the fuDowin^, these lelng the provisions which .I'l act the public more particularly : Sec. Ij provides f'lr registration of births by parents or other person respoiiMble therefor within 30 days of birth. Sec. 16 provides for registration of births forthwith by medical practitiouei-s at- tending at such births, on forms supplied to ihem thruuth Division Registrar. Sec. 17 provides that no birth can be registered, without consent of Registrar Geiieir.l .ifler one year if neijleet so to do. Sec. 20 provides that all inarriaues shall be registered within 30 days instead of UO days as heretofore. Tlie uiinistur cele- brating the marriage is responsible for the registration, and will be tup; iitd with blanks on application to the Div >,. a Registrar. Sec. 21 p:ovido3 for regit ra- tion of every death l»y the person r-s|'.ai- sible therefor Ihj'ure tl)e iiiUrnunt uj the botly. This should be borne in miod, as 110 ininiHter or pet son can bury the body until a certiticnte is furnishetl i>f the registration thereof. Sec. 23 provides that no ruiiiov.tl tor burial or n» 'inter- ment can legally take plaoj until the certiScate has be^n signed by the Divinioii Registrar (except in cases of diailis from contagious disea.'^es In townships when the nearest Division Reuistr'ir may is^ue a bu'ial ceriilicate to be endorsed by the medical health othcerof the inunieipubty).
