Ing to this quarantine station than is |
made by section 81. and 1t must there |
fore be construed assmaking an excep- |
tiOn thereto Regarding the two ser :
tiobs together. I think they are to be
construed as providing that all the
described in section 81. ex-
cent the quarantine station and
grounds at the harbor of Honolulu.
provided for In section 81
Shall be and remain in the possession
use. and control of the. government
of the Territory of Hawaii
until otherwise provided for by
Congress. or taken for the uses and
purposes of the United States by
direction of the President or Of the
Governor OF Hawaii"
7 am of the opinion. therefore. that
this quarantine station including
grounds. must be regarded as having
been transferred to the Marine Hospital
Service by operation Of law. and is
therefore under the control Of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. The appropria-
tion for repairs and preservation ot
public buildings. 1901. act of June 6.
1900 81 Stat, 59D. expressly includes
Quarantine stations" and I am clear
ly of the opi.ion that 1t is applicable
to the quarantine station at the harbor
of Honolulu.
