OF QUARANTINE FEES.
British Ship Owners Bring Up the
Question.

British Ship Owners Bring Up the
Question.
The English ship owners are still COM
planning about the Savannah quarantine.
Strachan & Co. have received a letter
from one of their British correspondents,
finding fault with one of their vessels hav-
ing to remain six days at quarantine after
having arrived from a healthy port, and of
the charges made at the quarantine sta
ton. They conclude, however, that the
charges will be refunded and base their
opinion upon an article which recently ap-
peared in the Shipping Gazette, a British
publication, which is as follows
In American ports, fortunately the
question of quarantine charges has late
ly received some attention. According
to the report of the British consul at
Charleston, it is estimated that up to two
years ago British ship owners disbursed
something like 10000 a year in respect of
quarantine at United States cotton ports.
The charges fer fumigation and disinfee-
ton were levied under the state or local
laws, and it was only lately discovered
bildb tlCy WGIC III ulIGCl COlillCI WIN the
provisions of the American constitution,
and the decisions of the supreme court
BY the constitution any state is expressly
prohibited from imposing tax on foreign
shipping, and fumigation charges have
been held by the supreme judicial tribunal
to constitute such tax. There was some
notion Of taking the question as affecting
Charleston, and other ports, before the
courts of law; but the position was so
clear that such a step was ultimately not
considered essential. The citizens of
Charleston voluntarily surrendered their
supposed right to impose fumigation
charges, and now content themselves with
leyying an amount of $40 in the shape of
an inspection fee. By some curious pro-
cess of reasoning it is considered that such
a fee is not in the nature of a tax on for
egn shipping, but is a proper charge for
services rendered. How the authorities
reconcile their consciences on this point
IS by no means clear, but 1t is at all events
satisfactory to find that quarantine
charges at the cotton ports have been
substantially reduced"
Messrs. Strachan & Co. will probably re-
fer the letter to the city council.
