This is not the first time the question
If municipal or government control of
the Savannah quarantine station has been
hefore the public, but it is the first time
the agitation has been so complete. 1t Is
cafe 10 say that the verdict at Tuesdays
meeting will settle the question for some
nme to come Mayor Myers said emphati-
cauv yesterday that the city is not re-
eponsible for the distinctions of troops
which have been going on since March 10,
the time the quarantine went into effect
according to the regulations of the marine
hospital service.
There are now several marine hospital
surgeons at our station" said the Mayor,
"who are cooperating with the city's
quarantine officer in the disinfection of
troops Gen. Wyman thought 1t best that
the troops be disinfected, and as our force
was inadequate for this purpose, an ar
rangement was made for the city and the
government force to cooperate. l direct
ed Quarantine officer Liniey to act strict
" in accordance with the instructions of
the marine hospital surgeons however, so
that the city cannot be held responsible
for whatever complaint is made. The
city wanted the troops here, and this ar
rangement was made to get them"
Mayor Myers looks for a largely at
tended meeting Tuesday, when all phases
OF the quarantine station question prom
Use 10 be discussed. He is specially de-
sirous that the citizens be present, and
that the discussion be participated in by
representatives of all commercial inter
ests of Savannah. He takes the same
position he did some days ago, that the
people must decide the matter according
10 what seems proper for the best inter
ests of the city.

City Council who favor selling the sta
ton to the government to conduct 1t in
future. it is very probable that a major
ity is against such proposition. A Morn
ing News reporter made inquiry yesterday
to find how the people felt, and in nearly
every instance the response was to keeI
the quarantine in the citys control. The
excellent manner in which it has been
managed during the last few years seems
TO have created strong confidence, and the
possibility of a change on the score OF
economy is not looked upon favorab bly,
The quarantine is now looked upon as a
strictly home affair, whereas it would moi
be if placed under the control of the ma
rine hospital service. Business men seem
averse to any change for the reason that
they see nothing to be gained by it, ex-
cept the saving, which does not warrant
an experiment of this kind. Some say II
will be time enough to talk of a change
when dissatisfaction arises with the pres.
