It died in the hands of the committee of the House of Representatives, to which it was referred. While this measure was, perhaps, defective in some particulars, it was a marked advance over present laws. This bill was as follows: A Bill To Amend Sections 6395, 6396 And 6397 Of The Revised Statutes Of Ohio. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That sections 6395, 6396, 6397 and 6398 of the Revised Statutes of Ohio be so amended and section 6395 be supplemented by the addition of supplemental section 6396a so as to read as follows: Sec.6395. The probate judge shall keep a record of the births and deaths reported to him, as hereinafter provided: the births shall be numbered, recorded and alphabetically indexed in the order in which they are received, and the record shall state, in separate columns, the date of making the record, the date and place of birth, the name (if it has any), sex and color of the child, the maiden name of the mother, and the name and occupation of the father of the child, and the residence and birthplaces of the parents, as fully as the same are reported; the deaths shall be likewise numbered, recorded and indexed, and the record thereof shall state in separate columns, so far as the same is reported, the date and place of death, name and surname of the deceased, condition (whether single, married or widowed), age, place of birth, occupation, names and birthplaces of parents, cause of death, color, and last place of residence of such deceased person, and the date of making the record: and the probate judge for making such records shall receive the sum of five cents for each name fully recorded, to be paid out of the county treasury on his certificate and the certificate and warrant of the county auditor. Sec. 6396 a. In counties containing cities having a population of one hundred and fifty thousand and over, when the fall report of a birth is filed with the probate judge, it shall be numbered and the record thereof shall be printed. Such record shall be compiled in such manner as to embrace all the items of information contained in the report: the proofs shall be read and corrected under the direction of the probate judge or his clerk. The type used in printing said record shall not be smaller than eight point. Each volume shall contain not more than five thousand reports, and an alphabetical index referring to the number of the report. The reports of deaths shall be numbered, compiled and printed in the same manner as the reports of births. There shall be ten copies of each volume printed; two volumes of each shall be printed in forms of sixteen pages, one copy of which shall be forthwith delivered to the local board of health, and the other to the probate judge for temporary use in his office. The remaining eight volumes shall be bound in full law binding and distributed as follows: Two copies shall be retained for public use in the office of the probate judge, one copy shall be sent to the state board of health, one copy delivered to the local board of health, and the other copies to such local historical, genealogical or medical societies, or public institutions as the probate judge may decide. The printing, binding, registers and blanks necessary to comply with the provisions of this and the preceding supplemental section, shall be paid for out of the county treasury in the same manner as other county supplies.
