owing to the fact that the State Senate
had to confirm the the appointment of
the health officer. managed to keep in
one of their political faith for a dozen
years. although a Democratic Governor
had time and again nominated a health
officer. Quarantine was in the hands
Of Republicans for many years. They
never talked about national supervision
and uniform regulations during that time.
Now all the employees are paid by the
State, except those OF Hoffman and Swim
burne Islands. who are appointed by the
Quarantine Commissioners and paid with
the fees collected at this port.
