be conciu’led by the outright purchase by
the government, through the treasury de
partment, of the station at th* price
agreed upon when the present arrange
m rt was first entered Into In April, 1995.
The City Council, after conalderable dis
cussion, decided to turn over the quaran
tine station to the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. ihe Tatter to toums all expenae* of
conducting the i>m with th* under
standing that. If agreeable to both parties
the station should be purchased outright
by the government at a later date. The
quarantine tug Thrckla was purchased at
the time by the Marine Hospital Service,
the price being 55.000.
Owing to the faot that the Marine Hos
pital enjoys only a limited appropriation,
and that It Is obliged to calculate its ex
penditure* closely, no efTort haa been
made heretofore to el ver the deal for the
.’a'lotv At ’he time the deal was entered

ahlch later fixed the value of the city's
improvements at the statDn at SSO.OiO.

en e alth the ir aaury officiate about the
matter and *otne five or six month* ago
the matter was tah n up In committee of
the whole and the Mayor was authorised
to close tha deal at the figure named
yesterday Mayor Myers received from
the Seen tary of the Treasury a receipt
for 130.010. payment of the station In full,
to be sign'd and forwarded by hftn, upon

The ctty has be- n relieved of an expense
of about 515,900 a y<ar for the maintenance
of Ihe station, beside* about 515.000 addi
tional which was needed for urgent Im
provements. Betides thl. It received 55. < *>
for the tug and will now receive 110.000
for It* property at the station. Fleanrlal-
Ty the dead Is regarded aa an excellent
one.
From a sanitary standpoint tha deal
has also proved an excellent one. The

Hospital Service has left nothing lo be
complained of and general snllafactlon is
expressed. In commercial and shipping cir
