sufficient influence in the chamber, among the Com
mittee to induce its members to get them to take any
action. He had no doubt that some day the matter
would be acted upon if the Battery was not otherwise

than he had had induce action on the subject.

effective in protecting this city from contagious diseases and
MIR. OPDYKE said that the ineffciency of the Quar-
antine regulations was known. There was involved
question Of conflicting jurisdiction. The State Gov
ernment had taken the matter in hand and appointed
proposition was brought before the State authorities to
appropriate the means to pay the expenses OF the
Quarantine they failed to do so, contendlsg that 1t
belonged TO the city to provide the means. The city
refused to do it, because the State has taken char &c OF
the matter. There many intelligent men among
the members of this chamber who believed that the

Quarantine Committee, Gen. Wetmore who had taken
much interest in this and the general subject OF the
sanitary condition of the city he believed the chamber
would elicit much valuable information, which would
lead to the Improvement of the Quarantine regulations
