There can Lc no question that the only
abttlute safeguard against the introduc
tion of ytlloAv j fever br other infectious
mseasi-s into a pori, is pouivu hou-iuici-courae
with infected" places, both by land
and I'.ut the demands of commerce
necessitate a modification of this rule, and
we respectfully submit to you such quar-

the detention and disinuctiun of all sus

We propose1 then,, in the first pbee,
that in case of vessels from infected ports,
with or without yellow fever on board,
said vessels shall come to anchor at the
point to bo designated by thy quarantine
physiciau, that tho vessel shall immedia
tely discharge her cargo, or j ballast, (the
toint at which such discharge shall take
place, if she be in ballas. to be named by
tho Commissioners of Navigation); she
shall havo her hold washed out aud aired

oughly fumigated, or disinfected other
wise, the Baaio rules to apply to all spare
sails, cordage, spars, and ship stores not
liable to injury by such process, &c. All
such measures, and such additional ones
as be may find it expedient U adopt and
enforce, shall be under the supervision
and control of the Quarantine Fhysician.
The sicls. from the vessel shall be moved
to the hospital immediately upon their
arrival, and the we'd to a suitable building
separated from the hospital, to bo kept
in quaxantuo of observation fr a time
to V? regulated by the Quarantine Physi
cian. sh
v TIME OF'DETiNTlO.
Tint fifteen (15) days after the arrival
of the vessel at quarantine station, or af
ter the last cage of) sickness occurring
subsequent to such arrival, the vessel and
such of the crew as may have been dis
missed from quarantine may be allowed
to come to and receive cargo at some
Eoint not nearer the city than Big Island,
y l ghters manned, if possible, by ac
climated persons. (See Dr. Curtis re
marks concerning the point ol discharge
and reception of cargo, &c.) I
CONSULTATIOS UOW AND WHEN .CALLED
In cases cf this kind, or any other, in
which the safety of tho city may be
endangered, if deemed: necessary, it is
recommended that the ( Quarantine Fhy
sician be respectfully requested to have a
consultation with one or more of tho phy
sicians of the city, to bo j designated by
the city authorities, and who shall be ac
ceptable to the Quarantine Physician, hi
wiht3 iu thii respect to be i always res
garded. J f
SECOND CLASS. (
That all vessels from ports south oi
Cape Fear, which have recently had, of
a iab e have, infectious diseases, as
yellow fever, shall stop at the quarantine
station and be inspected by the Quaran-
tine Physician. At his discretion they
shall be required to discharge cargo or
ballast, and be subjected to such disinfec-
tion as he may direct; after which the ves
sel mar come to the city for cargo,
As it is impossible to construct a rule
which can be applied to every case alike,
in this second cla. much of necessity
must be left to tho Judgment and dis
cretionof the Quarantine Fhysician, pro
Tided, however, that a consultation may
be had subject to the provisions already
laid down in cases of the nrst class.
MATERIALS, &C, FOB THE QUABA-STISE
STATION.
To euable the Quarantine Physician to
establish an efficient Quarantine, we re
commend that he be provided with two
Gerrard's fumizators and five hundred
pounds ot crude sulphur, snd a sufficient
quantity of carbolic acid. The fumigators
above mentioned may be omainea oi j. xj.

We respectfully recommend that the
city incur the expense incident to the pur-
chase of these machines and materials,
and apply, if it seem advisable to the State
for reimbursement through the next Legis
lature, i l.
We respectfully recommend to your
honorable body to apply to the next Legis
lature for amendments to the existing
quarantine laws, embodying the essential
points in this report.and any others deemed
necessary ; and for an appropriation sum-
cient to purchase ten or fifteen more i acres
of land immediately adjoining the hospital
at Ouarantine Station, and to supply said
hosDital witn suitable furniture and ail
needed repairs. We further recommend
that a suitable house be built for the ac
commodation of well persons, when re
moved from an infected shin, and also a
separate house for the steward of the hos
pital and his family, to be paid for out of
the funds appropriated. Seven thousand
dollars or more will probably be necessary
to complete these improvements
We respectfully represent that, as the
hospital is now arranged, those who are
not sick, together with the steward and
his family, are compelled to be under the
same roof with the sick or convalescents
from infectious diseases, and that the de
mands of justice and humanity call for
these most important and indispensable
improvements.
There remains one other point which
demands consideration. If a vessel arriv-
ing. at quarantine and ordered to discharge
cargo or ballast, snail nave sucn a num

I am of the opinion' that no points should
be named but timithville and Wilming

that the officers of ve-ssels should bo allow
ed to pass to and fro, without let or hin
drance, as their business may require.. It
is hardly necessary to state that Wilming
ton is the point possessing all the facilities
for the transaction of business, and is the
best, when it can be gained by the vessel
without risk to the inhabitants, rsext to
that I consider Smithville the most con
venient, being the terminus of steamboat;
and telegraph lines, and in a vicinity where
nrovisions and labor can easily be pro-
cured, and the position is also! healthy.
All intermediate points are inconvenient

On motion of Alderman Myers the
re-
port was read and adopted with a vote of
thanks to the Committee.
The following interesting paper, pre
pared by Drl E. ;A. Anderson, was by
request, read to the Board:
Gentlemen: In presenting our report on
quarantine, which, as you will see by the
cnhivnfvl to ruira meets the hearty ap
proval of Dr. Curtis. I would in behalf of
my colleagues add a few remarks, the
purport of which is to impress the impor
tance of the speedy action of your Board.
In doing this, I will endeavor to be as
brief as possible, since I have no wish to
occupy your time, or to waste that of my
elformv vlleanie3.

your Mayor, your Board, and city ihealth
bfheers. Sicco our last great epidemic, or,
briefly, smce the last tea years, there has
been a marked and universal change of
vews on the subject of quaJantine For
merly the custom was to don fine the sick
and well in an infected vessel indefinitely,
until either all of the crew and j assecgers
died, recovered, or until cold weather
and frost made their appearance. Of the
cruelty and inhumanity i of this course I
will not dwell, for such considerations af
fect but little a panicstricken community,
wuo aim remember the horrdrs of 'C2. A
moment's reflection will1 demonstrate the
absurdity of this procedure.
u is universally conceded now
that the poison of ' yellow, fever,
and I may , add, cholera and
small-pox, lurks in the hold, ballast,
cargo ana persons and clothing of vessel
and passengers, and that each' new case
intensities and spreads the same If.
tnen, the sick and well tre kept confinel
together on the same vessel,, how can wo
ever get rid of the pest, except by death
or cold? Humanity and self-in
terest revolt at this course. A valu
V,1 i i i i.
uto vessel. uarso ana nvna nrp
thus indefinitely periled, and the epi
demic prolonged. Dr. Vanderpoql states
that the cargo of an infected vessel can
by exposure to the strong breeze of the
lower bay be rendered innoxious, and that
if the vessel be thoroughly disinfected the
disease may be checked in the bud, and
the risk almost if not quite annihilated.
To do this requires money, proper disin
fecting materials aud apparatus. Isola
tion is ! now the niode universally em
ployed.! We .hould have three new
buildings erected at the bluff oh the
Lazaretto Point,1 or, two new ones, and
the old hovspital repaired and enlarged
one lor, the well, which should bo the
largest; ; one for tho steward, his family,
and the nurses; and 1 the other f-)r the
lazaretto or hospital proper. These
buildings should; be sufficiently apart to
be free from the danger of risk of conta
in, and yet near enough to bo conve
nient to and within easy reach of each
other. Suitable wells and cisterns should
be built;' also, a new wharf, and a boat
provided for the Quarantine Physician:
also twenty-five acres additional land
ronting on the river, and , a flajr staff
erected, from which a yellow Hag shouli
fly as long as: any sickness is at the lazar
etto. ' ) I
J We think it will require soven thousand
dollars to complete these indispensable
improvements, and that there should bo
no delay, The city does not hesitate to
expend six thousand dollars for steam fire
engines, hose '.and,' cisterns, to -guard
against 'a 1 conflagration which consumes
only a part Of ou r property. Why then
hesitate to spend a like sum to guard
against a conflagration which rtiins not
only our houses, our business, our tihrt
but, even thy lives of tho highest ar.d most
lowly? j j ' ... -
(iive yiu zoaloun aiul accomplished
qiuraniino oilicor, Jv. Curtis, tlie necc
saiy apparalua. boaU, wharf and buildings,
to liotalo rhe bick, nurses and family, with
tho well in septirate ' bujildings, and yellow
fever will bo disarnu'd of most of its terL
ro; s and dangers. -
Thoroughly expose the j cargo to the
strong breeze of tho lower bay, on tb
.decks of lighters, fumigate vessals with
sulphurous acidj gas, and above all, send
the crew, passengers jind 1 sicJ where they
can Le in separate buildings, and you de
stroy the disease not I only in the crew,
but also iu the vessel. (Jonfino them, as
in the old, antiquated, barbarous manner,
aboard, aud you intensify and prolong in
definitely tho pestilence.
There is no time for delay. Act, gen
tlemen, at once. Make, the requisite ap
propriation, put up -these buildings, and
apply for reimbursement to i the Legisla
ture. As his been well said, yellow fever
can exist in any city or town of five
thousand inhabitants, where the tempera
ture i3 above 7& degrees. Now what can
we say of our city, when the Bcorchbg
summer heat daily and nightly ranges be
tween SO and 00 degrees We aro sit
ting ou j-ja mine. The city is, although
clean, yet ripo for yellow fever, and a
singlecaso woujd spread it'liko wild-fire.
Very respectively, for the committee,
; I LA. ANbEBSON, M. D.
At the request ot Alderman Myers,
Dr. Wood explained the difference be
tween disinfeciion by meami of chlorine
gas as adopted in New York harbor' and
by sulpnurous acid as adopted by the
ports of New .Orleans and Savannah.
By the first method the salt and mangan
ese are put id open vessels and then
sulphuric acid is poured rapidly into the
compound, resulting in the rapid evolu
tion of chlorine. Bat the fumes bf( chlo
rine are very irritating to the lungs in
the smallest 'quantities, and there was the
danger, for this reason, that it would not
be efficiently dine, -Whereas, bythe use
cf sulphurous acid ga3, according to the
plan proposed, its application is by the
means of an apparatus which generates
tha gas and forces it into; the
hold, the hatches being tightly cicseuV In
this way not only does the gas permeate
every clink and crack, but its power as a
disinfectantas a germicide, ia otter
words, is far superior certainly more re
Usd.upoa now than other Substances cheap
enough for general use. I ... x i
