ter vessels for that port in the sum
mer season, on account of the econ.
Omy of serving out quarantine in
loading port, in the event of conta-
giOus disease developing on board.
Whereas, at PascagOula if cOnta-
giOus diseases developed on board
of vessel they were tOwed to Ship
Island to the National Quarantine
Station, which necessity, however,
has occurred only twice in four
years, the Port of Pascagoula hav-
ing as good and Efficient State quar-
antine service as any port on the
Gulf Coast
But, now, since the removal of
the National Quarantine Station to
Chandelier Island, all vessels en-
tering the ports of Ship Island and
| Pasca9Oula will be treated alike, in
the event of contagious sickness on
board. They will be iowed to
ChandelIeur Island and there lay
out their quarantine days.
Now, we submit, that in view of
the foregoing statement of facts, it
ought to be patent to the most OBJ
fuse minds that when a vessels
cargo is to be furnished from Pasca-
goula it is utter folly to anchor the
vessel at Ship Island.
