Dr. Cochran said that the authority OF the City OF
Brooklyn ignored in the permit and it could not be
received.

been asked to give another permit but that he had de-
clincd to give any other.

antne at ALL and that the order TO report 1t back was not
obligatory.

the case would be tested. The permit was not salts

such vessel beyond the jurisdiction OF the Health
Officer of Quarantine. IL he the Health Officer Of
the city, he should disregard this Quarantine permit
Dr. Cochran said that this was test case and that
unless they stood their ground the Quarantine Off
cias and the captains of vessels would ignore the city
authority and the sanitary reguatiOns-that they might

compel the Quarantine officials 10 grant any other form
permit than the they had granted but that the
vessel had night TO unload unless she mad clean bill
Of health and had obtained permit from the City Health
Officer
