QUARANTINE LEGISLATION.

Albany. Feb. 9-Assemblyman Kelsey to-day IN
troduced bill recodifying and making several i'm
portant amendments TO the Public Health law gov
erning the quarantine at the port of New York
For several years there has been a conflict OF
Jurisdiction between the Quarantine Commission
and the Health Officer. The former body had Ger
tain powers of supervision over the work OF the
latter and he. in turn, had charge OF the payment
Of the salaries OF certain employees of the former
body.
The new bill removes this condition, and clearly
defines and separates the powers and duties OF the
Health Officer. The Health Officer has more dis
erection than he now possesses in dealing with per-
sons and vessels placed in quarantine. The present
law limits him the pursual Of fixed methods OF
procedure in fumigating vessels and disinfeCting
persons and articles which might be the cause OF
the spread Of dangerous disease. The bill gives him
the power his discretion in these matters.
Infectious well 5 contagious diseases are
placed under his supervision and special powers
conferred in dealing with vessels having on
board passengers stricken with the plague. 1t IS
also provided that the inctnerated remains OF per-
sons who die of infectious or contagious diseases
shall be kept by him until claimed by their reIa-
tives friends and that hereafter the burials
shall take place on Swinburne, instead Of Hoffman.
