New Orleans, February 16, 1878 )
To the Honorable Speaker and Members Of the
House Of Representatives.:
Your committees, to whom was referred the
memorial Of DR.. Joachim Zayas asking an
appropriation OF seven thousand dollars for
the support Of bureau to propagate animal
| vaccine, beg to submit the following report:
They are fully impressed with the value Of
the. services already rendered by DR.. Iayas in
maintaining q vaccination depot ut his own
expense and at the sacrifice Of much Of his
private means. They are also Sensible Of the
importance Of @ constant supply Of pure virus
throughout the year, as o preventive Of tho
ravages OF small pox. But, in view Of the de-
pressed condition Of the States finances, they
do not feel justified In recommending his
proposition in It's precise terms. They do
recommend, however, that certain sum OF
money be appropriated from the treasury of
the State and placed at the command Of the
Board OF HEALTH for the purpose Of main
tanning q vaccination bureau, with the under
standing that DR.. Zayas shall be put in charge
of this establishment.
