SIR: The fact that smallpox epidemic is
now raging in this city is probably unknown to the most
of your readers. To "A certain extent the Board OF
Health has until now been able 10 control the epidemic,
and might have diminished its rvages if the late action
of the Board of Appropriation, in cutting down the ap
preparation to the Board of Health Onchaf had not
seriously crippled it, Some weeks ago the regular boat
used TO convey smallpox patients to the hospital was
taken of, and the smallpox patients now
conveyed in the ordinary hospital boat in
common with other patients and the criminals
who constantly being sent TO the island The am
bulance wagons, used exclusively to convey smallpox
patients from their residences the boat longer
employed, and the patients carried to TwcntySXth
st. in the ordinary ambulance OF the Commissioners of
Charities and Correction All persons sick injured
conveyed in the same ambuances as the Smallpox
patients while the force of the epidemic is unchecked.
There were more cases Of smallpox last week than for
long time previously in the history Of the city.
Any who has the smallpox may refuse to 20 the
hospital and there is power in NewYOrk City

him there They have the authority still, hut they
