the liberty to offer some observations and sug-

The bill aims to establish national system
of quarantine. and subjects all State and local

public health there. and requiring immediate
notice to be forwarded Of the existence OF infec-

that this intelligence should be transmitted d.
! reetly from the foreign ports to the quarantine
authorities at our ports, in order to save time.
You are probably aware OF q bill recently in
troduced by Senator Eustis, Of this State, en-
powering State Legislatures to impose tax on

suggest that his bill, amended by. the addition

greatly facili ate our gaining speedy and cor
