Before the Committee ON Agriculture.
ALBANY, March "a, 1883.
In response TO resolution onered by Mr.. Hitch
man. the Board OF Health through its leading ocer,
Dr. swinburne, sent report to the speaker to-day.
stating upon what authority the passengers OF the
ship James Foster Jr, were sent to the institutions
on Wards Island. The Health Oficer claims that
the laws OF 1861 chapter $685. section "a, authorize
him 70 transfer the alien passengers alluded 10,
and states that he is not responsible for that
law, out has simply acted under 1t as he ID bound
To de-. The conclusion of the report is somewhat
ctatory in its character and has less to do with the
question concerning which 1t is written than with the
measures which the Legislature ought to adopt with
regard to the management OF quarantine, the erec-
ion OF buildings and SO FORTH After referring the
Assembly TO different sections OF existing laws au-
thor.zng his action, he adds
