| poA w
existing cases are seven in number, and re-
ported to be not of a Malignant kind. One Of
hem is in the city whose situation did not
admit of removal, but every necessary
precaution has been taken to guard against the
| infection. The others have been placed IN
temporary hospital without the limits, or are
so entirely insulated as TO leave no tears
about the farther spread Of the disease. In
| addition to the me asures already adopted,
| general course Of vaccination has been recon-
mended and pursued, as well calculated to
prevent its contagious influence.
The Committee are Of opinion that The city
authorities are sufficiently competent to do all
that may be required of them on the occasion,
and are assured that no exertions on their part
! will be wanting 10 check the progress OF the
disease. For greater security, however, they
would recommend an entire separation OF the
] persons infected from the populous part Of the
city, which is believed 20 be their intention,
and preparations are making with that view.
| Seeing the necessity of the case, and the i'll
provided means Of the District, to arrest dis
eases Of this character, the COMMITTEE will take
this opportunity of drawing the attention OF
the House to a bill now before it, proposing 10
| establish a Lazcretto for the District OF CO.
! lumbia; measure that recommends itself 10
the consideration of Congress, by every regard
to their own safety, as we'll as that of the cti.
GEMS against infec tious or contagious diseases;
! and if adopted; would in a great degree re-
move the alarm and uneasiness that must me-
| ~essarily be felt on such occasions. The
Committee submit the information comWuni-
Gated ty The President of the Board Of Health
and the Mayor, and ask 10 be discharged from
| the further consideration of the subject.
And The Committee were discharged accor
! dinghy.
! Mr. Tucker moved the consideration of the
resolution he Offered on the preceding day, to
appoint Joint committee TO fix on day for
