The matter of keeping a register of
tthdhs and deaths within the town of
Valdez is something that has been
neglected by the authorities here, since
the town was incorporated. In most
towns of Alaska, as well as iu the
States, a record is kept of all such hap
penings by the town clerk, and is of
great value to the inhabi'ants and to
outsiders who may be looking for par
ticulars legardiug the death of a friend
or relative in Alaska. Arrangements
should be made for keeping such a
record, and a fine imposed on the
physician or uurse who fails to re
port a birth or death within the town
to the proper authorities.
