To date the work has been completed in Fillmore and Dodge counties. : In both' of these counties it was found that'a great number of births and some deaths were not being re- ported as the law requires. The re- sult of this jnvestigation was that a complaint was filed against nine phy- sicians in Fillmore county. In Dodge county four physicians and two- par- ents plead guilty to:having falled to make the reports of births as required by law and were assessed one dollar and costs each.

Bracken, secretary and executive officer of the state board of health, says that the general impres- slon seems to be that these records are required merely for the purpose of compiling statistics.

The board is now enforeing this !aw so that the records may be complete, having for the first time in its history been able to secure a special agent to personal- ly follow up these cases.
