municipal quarantines. The comittee had found there the Mayors duties full ly outlined. The committeee had in- vestigated the State quarantine. They had found it effective enough on all through trains It was the purpose of the committee to have a municipal quarantine which would supplement the work of the State quarantine. It had,
 therefore. prescribed a supervision of
 all local and freight trains. It was
 hardly possible to legislate safely
 against all liars, but the committees
 report would come as near as anything
 else towards cfrcumventing them. Af-
 ter all, the whole question was the ex-
 ercise of his legal powers by the Mayor.
 Mir vandivcr who had been extended
 the courtesies of the floor supported
 the committees action. He was glad
 of having had the opportunity of serv-
 ing on the committee. For one thing
 his service on the committee had given
 him a new understanding new
 knowledge, of what the State and the
 city officials were doing in the way
 surprised at the work which had been done and with the close familiarity with the details of the quarantine shown by
 the State and city officials.
 To Supplement State's Work.
 The quarantine was by no means
 perfect The report did not claim that
 it was perfect. pr. Sanders had gone
 completely over the details of the States quarantine. The committees
 appreciated the impossibility of put ting on a general quarantine and mak- ing 1t ideal at once. The committed proposed to supplement the work of the
 State officials and remedy any defects that might exist so far as Montgomery was concerned. From statements made by pr. San- ders." said Mir. vandiver "the commit | tee Is very hopeful that in the near flu. ture we will have on through trains a practically perfect quarantine. The committee proposes to put the same sort of quarantine on local and freight trains"
 MT. Sullivan again took the floor to oppose the report of the committee. He asserted that he was surprised to note the change in the tenor of the re- marks made by Mir. Vandiver at the Tuesday meeting of the Council and the remarks he had just made "I tell you that the quarantine sup. posed to be one now is the funniest sort of a farce" said Mfr. Sullivan. T have paid a dollar and a half to set a farce at the Montgomery theatre
 that was not near so good. I am op- posed to anything but the severesi kind of a quarantine. The committed may take all the responsibility fo1 any future trouble that may come from this lax quarantine they pro- pose And if we get through this thing until frost, and by good for in Montgomery, I think we ought to
 call a prayer meeting in this chamber to thank the Almighty God for his great kindness"
 Others in Debate.
 Alderman Ruth stood for as strict a quarantine as could be- established The city could do nothing less than it's very best to keep the yellow fever out of the city. The sort of a quar-
 not sufficient for that purpose. in his opinion. He told of conversation he had had with a man from Louisiana who had come right into Montgom- cry and gotten off the train at the passenger station without encounter ing a quarantine officer.
 Alderman Jackson defended MT. Van
 diver from the charge that he had
 been inconsistent in his attitude on
 that there was anything inconsistent in what Mir. Vandiver had said at the Tuesday meeting of the council and the action of the committee. He re- viewed the work of the committee and declared that 1t had met Its responsi' bilities in every way.
