TO PROTECT H0BOKEN's HEALTH
The Authorities Taking Steps to
Guard Against Infectiop.

DR.. S. A. Heller, acting president of the
Hobeken Board of Health, has instructed
Health Inspector Granelh to take proper
precautions to prevent any yellow fever
cases from entering that city. Although
all the southern steamers and %schooners,
which land their cargoes on Hoboken
piers, are thoroughly q~uarantined before
entering the harbor, DR.. Heller believes
that it is the duty of the local authorities
to take extra precautions. There is no
fear of an outbreak of the disease In the
city, he says, but there may be "a few
isolated cases that would slip into the
harbor unnoticed by the quarantine in
spectors.
The city of New York" said DIR. Hell
fer. "has spent thousands of dollars in
order to guard against any possible in
PRODUCTION of the c%ontagion and I don't
see why VIZ should not be on the lookout
ALSO
The Savannah Line steamers land their
caFgoes of yellow pine lumber and other
freight at the foot of Tenth street and
numerous other freight vessels tie up in
Hoboken daily to unload and reload. IN
spector Granelli will make a thorough in,
spection along the docks each day and
any disease breeding refuse or any sus-
picious cases of sickness will be prevented
from landing.
