tics to qualify within ten days after his appointment shall also be held
to vacate his office. Each local registrar shall immediately appoint a
deputy local registrar whose duty it shall be to act in his stead in case

9. Each election district, city and incorporated town shall consti-
tute a registration district; provided, the State Registrar may combine
two or more registration districts in any county into one registration
district. The county registrar shall, with the advice and consent of the
Local Board of Health, designate a competent person in each registra-
tion district who shall act as local registrar, and shall within the dis-
trict for which he is appointed receive death certificates and issue
burial permits upon the same and receive birth certificates and perform
such other services under this sub-title as the Local Board of Health
may direct, provided, that when, in the judgment of the State Registrar
of Vital Statistics, it is necessary to appoint more than one deputy
local registrar in any registration district, the State Registrar shall
authorize and direct the local registrar of vital statistics to designate
and appoint as many additional competent persons to act as deputy
local registrars as the State Registrar may deem necessary. The Mayor
of any incorporated town of less than five thousand population shall,
with the advice and consent of the State Registrar of Vital Statistics,
appoint a competent person to act as local registrar. In any district in
which the local registrar is not appointed within one month after an
office or a vacancy is created, the State Registrar of Vital Statistics is
authorized to make such appointment. After appointment the tenure
of office of a local or deputy local registrar shall be permanent until he
resigns, unless by reason of his conduct the State Registrar, with the
advice and consent of the State Board of Health, requires him to
vacate his office. Each deputy local registrar appointed as herein pro-
vided shall accept the appointment in writing, and it shall be his duty
to act as local registrar in his stead in case of absence, illness or dis-
ability, and when it is necessary in order to promote public conven-
ience to do so, and who shall be subject to all rules and regulations
governing local registrars. No local registrar or deputy local registrar
shall issue any permit for the disposition of any dead body excepting
upon the presentation of a proper and correct certificate of death, nor
shall he in any case issue a permit for the disposition of any body
already interred, entombed, transported, removed, cremated or in any
other manner disposed of except as provided in this sub-title. Each
