Ninety out of every one hundred, it is esti- mated, are now registered within the time set by law ($0 days). To regis- ter later means a great deal of trouble in securing signatures to a declara- tion, etc. The time to register is when.. the child is born and the person held responsible by law is the parent. So great is the demand for certifi- cates that the record office is one of the busiest spots in the government buildings; 4,000 applications are be- ing received every month, whereas formerly they --rarely exceeded one- tenth of that number. Pass lerts for travel outside of.
