Note.


All persons are respectfully requested to examine the fore- going reports of births, marriages and deaths, and report to the Town Clerk any errors or omissions that may be discerned there- in, so that the records may be corrected. An error in the record, other than a mistake in copying a certificate or return, can be corrected only in accordance with a deposition under oath, made by one who was required by law to furnish the information for the original record, or by three or more creditable persons having knowledge of the case. (See Revised Laws, Chapter 29, Sections 9 and 16.)


Births occurring late in the year are sometimes returned without the Christian name. In such cases parents should re- turn the name to the Town Clerk as soon as selected, as incom- pleteness of the record may involve some trouble in the future.


The Town Clerk hereby gives notice that he is prepared to furnish parents, householders, physicians and midwives applying: therefor with blanks for return of births, as required by law.
