Annual Report of the National Board of
of Health.
WASHINGTON, January 11th.-The ANIMAL
report of the National Board of Health. con-
tanning an account of the operations of the
past year, will probably be transmitted to
Congress tomorrow. 1t is the opinion of the
Board that if during the past winter, at all
points where fever has prevailed during the
past summer, care be taken to obtain thor
ough ventilation and exposure to the cold of
all houses and inclosed spaces, and all
bedding, clothing ETC., and if local sanitari-
anism be vigorously and properly carried out,
there will be little danger of an epidemic of
yellow fever next year from the causes now
existing in the country. 1t is believed
that inspection stations for steamboats,
should be established on the Missis-
sippi river at New Orleans, Vicksburg,
just below Memphis, and Cairo, at which
all boats should be examined by competent
inspectors and certificate as to the sanitary
condition OF the boat given. The cost of es-
tabllshlng these stations is estimated at $780,
900. The expenditures of the Board from the
date of organization to December 31st, 1879,
were Sl54,OO0. The estimate for defraying
the future expenses. of the Board was submit
ted as follows: January LIST, 1880, to June
30th, 1880, S2S4, $50; from July LIST, 1880, to
June Both, 1881, 1902, 060. 1t is also advised
that an appropriation of about $4,000 be
made to hold in reserve for the emergency of
the recurrence of such expenditures as those
of 1879, and to be used solely for the purpose
OF inland quarantine in case of such an out
break.
