LITTLE DANGER FROM IMPORTED RAGS.

Collector Robertson yesterday met with DIR.
Smith Health Officer of the Port, Deputy Collector
TrelOar and Surveyor Benedict in obedience to ill.,
structions from the Secretary of the Treasury, TO
determine how best to carry out the order OF the
Treasury Department regarding the importation OF
old rags so as not to impose unnecessary hardshlps
upon shipowners and importers, and, at the Same
time to protect the port from possible introduc-
tion of cholora through injected cargoes. DR. Smith
Expressed an opinion that vessels having old rags
ON board might come to their docks i'll the city and
discharge their cargoes excepting rags, on tho
wharf. The rags could be discharged in lighters
and sent back to a place of disinfcctOn and no pos
sible danger to the health of the city arise.
