made answer before Judge Peudle-
ton in the superior ccu-t to the Pc

ter Injunction res raining the Estate
board of health from interfering with
the city in i.s efforts to preserve
health, and the officers Of the state
board from violating any of the city's
rules and regulations On this subject
1t was conceded after the reading
Of the state boards petition for in
junction and Tie answer and demur-
ror fled by the city that the -ques-
ton before Judge Pendleton in the
quarantine. injunction hearing was
purely one CT law.
Judge Pendleton stated that he con-
sldered the question involved sub
stantlally legal one, as to whether.
for instance. the state board of health
having instituted a state quarantine,
had the right to guard the passage
through the city of Atlanta, of
through passengers from territory In
fected by yellow fever and against
which the quarantine had been in
stituted.
The argument of the case then
took practically this course, involv-
ing the construction of the law cre-
ating the state board Of health and
as to whether the powers of the state
board is supreme in matters of quar-
antine, or whether it is subordinate
when it comes into confllct with the
power Of local boards Of health.
During the preliminaries many in
teresting points connected with the
quarantine situation were brought out
by counsel on both sides.
Before the argument was conclud-
ed Judge Pendleton, shortly before
6 o'clock, adjourned the further hear
ing Of the cage until Tuesday after
noon.
The petition Of the state board was
first read to, the court by Attorney
General Hart, the answer of the city
board of health to each paragraph be-
ing read by City Attorney Mayson.
In its answer the city board of
health. denied the right Of the mem
'bers Of the state board to institute
the suit for injunction, it being held
that the suit should be brought in the
name of the state, as the state board
of health hes no corporate existence.
The city board Of health admitted
the supreme authority of the state
board In matters Of quarantine, but
held that the act creating the state
board of health provides that it shall
hive no power to .supersede local
boards of health where the same, are
properly organized. but shall act in
harmony with such local boards. TT
was asserted that there is a local
board Of health in Atlanta properly
organized and maintined, and that
the state board had no right to su.
persede' it within the corporte limits
of Atlanta. = s.
The Atlanta board denied the prob
ability or the possibility of yellow
fever spreading in the northern part
of the state.
