Everything Working in Good Shape
al the Quarantine Station Now
The operation of the quarantine station,
Alderman Harris, chairman of the health
committee. said last night, is such that
there IS now no room for complaint of delay,
and shipping aud commerce are no longer
hindered, as vessels discharge their ballast
by the steam appliances which have been
added to the station. Heretofore ballast
had TO be discharged only by such crude
facilities as the vessels furnished. which
made the discharge slow and unsatlsfac-
tory.
Under the improved workings of the sta
ton, when the quarantine officer is absent
from the station, as he necessarily must be
about once a month, to visit the city to
lay Ia provisions, a competent substitute is
put IN his place This Is done so as TO not
delay vessels, and to facilitate the COM
merce of the city.
The health of the men at the quarantine
station IS reported TO be good, and no sick
ness has bee reported 50 far. There Is an
arteslan well at the station. 50 that the en-
ployes have pure water which has much
