Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forty-Second Annual Report Upon the Births, Marriages and Deaths in the City of Providence, for the Year 1896
There is always considerable delay in preparing the report on Births, Marriages and Deaths for the printer, due to the defective method prescribed by law for collecting the returns of births. It is always necessary to correct, compare and add to the enumerators' returns, so that three or four months must elapse after the first Of January before the returns of the preceding year can be considered complete. As the ordinance requires the city registrar to make a report to the City Council on or before the first day of April, it is impossible to have the tables prepared at that time, and they are therefore added by the printer in the appendix.
