MORTALITY REGISTRATION: A new system of mortality
registration for this city, in connection with the office of the Cemetery
Commission, is being introduced at the suggestion of the Acadamy of Medicine.
It is the method which has proved the best and most acceptable in the city
of Providence, Rhode Island. The adoption of the ordinance by the Common
Council, recently, made it obligatory, under severe pain and penalties,
that no burials shall take place in the cemeteries within the corporation
limits, without a proper permit. The mortality statistics of the city can
therefore be accurately known and be made public. |

when discovered, his dead body was floating in the water - a sad sight
