WILL NOT GO
DOWN The BAY
Health Officer NauIty Wants
Quarantine Station.

DR.. c. w. Naulty, Jr., of High
street, federal health officer for the
port OF Perth Amboy. has taken
stringent means to win his fight for
the establishing of quarantine sta
tion south Of the Staten Island ferry
slip and opposite Schanfz 6 Eckert's
place Dr. Nanlty, hereafter, Will
not go Down the bay to meet In
coming vessels as he has basn doing.
This viii nscessitate the bringing
of the crafts all the way into port
before they can be passed.
DR.. Naulty has had this plan un-
der consideration for some time and
lately 1t developed that 1T Is OPP
tional with the officer whether or
not he will inspect vessels at Orch
ard Shoals, which Is about eight
miles down the bay. The question
now arises. where will the vessels
await the arrival of the health Off
Ger? This is where DR.. Naulty will
bring In his arguments for the es-
tablishing of an up to date ouaran-
tine station for this port.
1t has been the experience OF the
local pilots that they would bring q
ship up to this city In order to be
near the docking places and after
being inspected they were forced to
take the vessel back to Orchard
Shoals for want of anchorage
grounds. At the present time the
place allotted by the government and
state is not deep enough, and ves-
sells of any size cannot anchor within
bounds.
The location that has been chosen
by the health officer and the local
pilots is considered Ideal for vessels
to anchor. but at the present time
barges and other smaller craft take
up the room. DIR. Naulty wishes to
exchange grounds with the barge
concerns and give them the terri
tory above the ferry slip where there
Is an average of eighteen feet Of
water and give the larger boats an
chorage room south of the ferry.
DR.. Naulty is in receipt of letter
from the West Indies Steamship
Company, which contains their feel
ings In the matter of having no an
chorage grounds in waters sur
rounding this city. Captain Emery.
supervisor of harbors, is of the opin-
ion that the quarantine station north
of the ferry is suitable and 1t is the
intention OF the local authorities to
test this assertion. The RESPONSE
hility OF placing large boats at this
spot will be put on the supervisor.

went 10 Columbus last evening to
hear the Sheffield choir, one of the

Two hundred voices compose this
choir II sang in the vast Memorial

standing room was sold to several
hundred. The program was COM
posed of choral numbers from Handel,
