[ would say by way of preface that
with bubonic plague knocking at our
very doors and increasing rapidly in
Hongkong and throughout the Orient,
and threatening to become established
among US again by the Introduction
of infection on the incoming Oriental
steamers, we are certainly under deep
obligations to DR.. Cofer for his unfail-
ing courtesy, kindly consideration and
the desire he has shown at all times
to cooperate with this board and its
, officers in the efforts to protect the
health of the public during this trying
time.
In view, also, of the intimate rela-
tons established by usage and law be-
tween the local health department and
the United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice this board of health and the COM
munity at large are to be congratulate
ed on having at the head of the Marine
Hospital Service, SO energetic and thor
oughly efficient an officer as DR.. Cofer
has proved himself to be on all occa-
Sions.
would therefore move that the
secretary be instructed to write DR..
Golfer, thanking him in the name of the
Board of Health for the courtesy, con-
sideration and desire he has always
shown to work and cooperate with the
board and it's officers. And that we
also desire to express the utmost con
fidenee in him, and in the thorough
