All the duties under the Births and Deaths
Registration Ordinance 1896 formerly appertaining to the
Registrar-General are now transferred to the Head of the
Sanitary Department as appears by Section 8 of the Ordinance
in question (15 of 1909).
Section 26 of the former Ordinance placed
on the Registrar-General, when required by the Sanitary Board,
the duty of transmitting a return to the Board of such of the
particulars of registration of deaths as the Board may specify.
Such particulars will now by virtue of
the transfer of these duties be in the possession of the Sanitary,
Department 1.e. the Sanitary Board, and the Section (26) there-
-fore became futile and was repealed.
30th. September, 1909.
(sd.) W. Rees Davies.
