All this is true with man ns an individual, in how much greater degree does it apply to us ns an official body. Our fel low citizens, through their chosen representatives, the Mayor and Council, have entrusted to us the lives of themselves and families, a responsibilitiv not to be lightly as sumed or carelessly neglected. To us has been assigned the duty of keeping watch and ward over the sanitary condition of the city. We sixteen are of interest in connection with the inspection of vessels. The first epidemic occurred in Havana in 1761, and yellow fever has pre vailed in Cuba from then until the present time. From the records of the military hospitals at different ports of entry, the Commission have established the following facts: 1. Baraeoa—there were cases of yellow fever iu the military hospi tal every year since 1865, except from February, 1873, to May, 1876. 2. Cuibarien, au insigiuficent village,and the seaport of Remedios, about five miles distant—yellow fe ver occurred in the hospital of Rem edios every year since 1867, except in 1873. 3. Cardenas—the records extend only from 1833 until 1871; yellow fever occurred iu every year, except people, who require frequent adrno-j infected during the past season, and hi 1856. Other evidence proves nition. For the ensuing year I one vessel lost a portion of her ccr was required to inspect all ves sels coining into the ]>ort of Bruns wick, and within this time thirty- eight vessels arrived from porta within the United States. This would show a total of ninety-three sailing vessels which have passed under the supervision of the Health Officer. For a portion of the year all steamships and steamboats ar riving at Brunswick were required 7b the Honorable Hoard of Health of the City of Bruiuncidc, Ga.: Gt.NTLtMKN—Amidst the kindly greetings of the new year, it be hooves us to take a retrospective glance. “History frequently re peats itself,' 1 and it is from the les sons of history that we must learn to foretell the future. It is from teachings of the past that man must gather wisdom to guide his footstejw in time to come. In whatever walk in life a man may be placed, whether he has Bought . honor and emolument in the fo- inspector appointed by the Board | ports rum, in the professions, in mercan- was ettrne8 ‘ and activeiin the da- culiar or special interest to us m re tile pursuits, or the arts and sci-j dmr «° of h “ dutles - and his servic- latum to yellow fever, as it is from cnceof mechanics, if he does not es were productive of much good, these ports that we must expect calmly reconsider and review his ‘'socially with some classes of our! danger. Several of these ports were acts and doings, separating the ness of the city. By reason of the ■ to observe certain rules and regula- necessity for economy, the Board tions. It will be observed that a was not allowed a sanitary inspec- very largo number of the arrivals tor until late in the season, and | from foreign ports have been from I then for only a few months. The South American and West Indian These, of course, have a pe- would recoir mend that an inspec tor be appointed in time to begin work by the first of May. I have been much gratified by the cheer ful compliance with the sanitary rules and regulations by all classes of our |>eople. It is true that some have been quite careless, but this has been an exception to the gener al rule. Much has been and can be accomplished by the education of the people to the necessity for cleanliness in the interest of health. As evidence of the healthfulness of the city, I now present the mor tuary report for the year 1879, as follows: INTERMENT IN OAK GROVE CEMETERY.

All vessels from foreign ports were required to be in a cleanly and healthful condition before a permit could be granted to proceed to the city, and those from infected ports were kept under observation until thorough cleansing and dis infection was accomplished, some of them being detained at quaran tine from ten to twenty days. I am gratified to report that there was not a single case of sickness at the Quarantine Station during the year, and that no contagious or in fectious disease was communicated to the city from vessels after pass- ihg through quarantine. |n j.

So many intricate problems en ter into tlie calculation of the prof its derived from commerce, that even commercial exports would find it difficult to estimate the val ue to this country of its trade with Cuba, and still more difficult to es timate tlie much smaller profits the annual presence of yellow fc- j wihch would be lost to the United ver for many years post.

It will, of course, he understood that while roses of yellow fever oe- curred during the years reported, lu- It is an established (set that yel lolv fever is endemic in all the ports of entry of Cuba. Will the disease ever he eradicated or controlled to such an extent that the United States will not he endangerd by commercial intercourse with Cuba? A single glance at tho enormous sum to remedy somefew of the most glaring insanitary evils iu Havana alone, is a sufficient answer to tlie query. As there is very little hope that the disease will ever cense to exist in Cuba, an international sys tem of quarantine should he agreed upon by which the United States can exercise strict surveilance over all vessels, both domestic nnd for eign, in the ports of Cuba, destined for ports in the United States.— This, together with a rigid quaran tine at nil ports in the U. 8., upon vessels sailing from Cuba, at all seasons of the year, would render commercial intercourse much safer than it is nt present. Tlie time may eome when the people of tlie Uunitcd States will demand that there lie a siuqiension of inter course with Cuba, from tlie first of June to the first of October of each year. This, with a rigid inspec tion of vessels nt all oilier seasons, would render commercial inter course comparatively safe, and would force the trade with Culm into the other months of the year without very greatly injuring its value to the United Slates.
