Its Representatives Vigorously Pro test
Against Using Little Tinicum Island as
Quarantine Annex.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 15.-The threat
was made on the floor of the Select
Council chamber last evening by the
mayor of Chester that if Philadelphia
persisted in establishing pest house on
Little Tinicum Island, Chester would
fight the issue in the courts, and that if
Philadelphia would not meet her in the
courts. Chester will meet Philadelphia
with all the physical force at her COM
mand.
1t was at a meeting of Councils Com
mittee on Fire and Health to hear the
objections Of the Chester people to the
ordinance now before Council proposing
TO use Little Tinicum Island as an ad-
iunct to the present quarantine station.
Mayor Coates, of Chester, said the pro-
posed quarantine station was a direct
menace to Chester. as the water supply
of that city came from the lower end Of
the island named. lie spoke of the
danger that lurked in surplus bedding
being thrown from cholera-infected ships
in the river, and spreading disease on
the mainland
''It is the first time, he proceeded,
chat Chester people knew that Little
Tinicum Island was worth 500, 000 Do
not squander your money. / would not
give 50, 500 for the island, and at high
tide you cannot find a square foot of
ground there.
A similar note was sounded by ex-
Mayor Forward, of Chester, who has re-
minded the committee that Chester has
fought the quarantine stationed near her
since 1872, and that Chester people will
pursue the conflict to the bitter end.
''You may hoot at Chester" he said, as
his voice rose in disdain, but can you
safely locate a quarantine station in the
midst of 40, 600 people2 mol The proper
place is further down the river. You
cannot keep suspects in your present
quarantine now. Philadelphia to-day
has no quarantine worthy of the name.
We have all we want to do in attending
to Chester people. We do not want any
thing from Africa. We are projections

Professor, Haupt, of the University OF
Pennsylvania, suggested Reedy Island or
| Bombay Hook for quarantine station.

for another location further from Ches

Philadelphia had jurisdiction outside Of
the bounds of her municipality. CAS-
well move Moyamensing prison to Della
ware county and control your prisoners

Board of Health cannot buy the land ex
cept with the consent Of the governor.
Director Beitler forcibly replied to the
criticisms, and was followed by DR.
Shakespeare, who said that we were in
danger Of cholera infection even in win
ter and that he looked for the cholerl
battle to begin at our doors early il
April or May.
