d.. ], D, PltmkHtt, President STATE Board of
Htalth, Nashville, Tenn:
In reply 10 your letter Of yesterday ask.
ing my opinion by telegraph whether the
State Board Of Health has legal authority
to enact such rule as number Q, which
reads, mo lint or seed cotton will be al.
lowed 70 enter Memphis during the cpl.
demic," 1t Is my opinion that the Board OF
Health has power to enact such rules and
regulations as will prevent the spread Of
disease, even to the prevention OF all trav.
el and the interruption OF all commerce II
the spread oil disease cannot be otherwise
arrested. The primary object of the law
is toprevent the spread Of disease. Ifthis
can be done by restriction on travel and
commerce, the Board should so act. Ifit
cannot be thus prevented, then, In order
to prevent 1t, they may stop all travel and
communication with the infected district
except such as may be necessary to afford
relief to the infected district. The Board
had right to enact rule No. If, in their
judgment i was necessary to prevent the
spread Of disease.
