VITAL STATISTICS.
UNSATISFACTORY FIGURES'. • "The figures for,the first quarter of the new fear aro not very satisfactory," said Mr. It. G. Hodgkins, Registrar of Births, Deaths* and Marriages yesterday. 1 There IS a diminution in tho births and an increase in the deaths on the figures for the sarno quarter of tho previous year. Tho increase of deaths-some 32-might bo accounted for by the coming into operation of tho new Act, which provides that all undertakers must register deaths within three days, instead of within thirty, days, as has been the case in the past. The marriages have increased. That is probablv owing to the,fact that Easter was included in tho first quarter of this year It was later last year."' oi Tl , le .fibres f «V the quarter ended March 31 (with those for tho month of March in parentheses) : for tho years 1912 and 1913, are given below i— 1912. 1313. 522 (180) 504(178) 170 (58; 202 (08) Marriages ......... 265 (101) 275 (122) Marriages m Mce G5 (18) 71 (28)
