Report of Health Officer of the Port of Perth Amboy.

PORT OF PERTH AMBOY, N. J.,

To the State Board of Health:

November 13th, 1901.

GENTLEMEN—I have the honor of presenting to you herewith the second annual report of this office, for the year ending October 1st, 1901, as follows:

In accordance with the provisions of the Quarantine law, the following number of vessels were inspected at this port:

Foreign vessels, 21; domestic vessels, 81; total, 102.

Of the above, 13 were steam and 89 were sailing vessels.

One thousand three hundred and thirty-two inspections of persons were made during the year-on steam vessels, 442 (officers and crew); on sailing vessels, 893, including officers and crew and three passengers.

The following table shows the number of vessels entering this port, and also the port of departure of each:

Fees collected for the year, $223.75.

It gives me great pleasure to state that no cases of contagious or infectious diseases have been found on board of any vessel entering this port. Five cases of sickness were found during the year. These were all confined to one vessel, and developed some days after landing. The persons affected were on board the steamer Vittoria (Br.), arriving here November 18th, 1900, from Tampico, Mex. The diagnosis was remittent fever. After a few days of treatment they were discharged.

The Quarantine law, although comparatively new, has been quite generally observed. We still feel the necessity of having some suitable vessel for reaching the anchorage grounds, and it is hoped that this will be provided for in the near future. One special permit (toland rags, hides, straw and bedding) was granted during the year. This was to Captain Neil McCalla, of the British schooner Mola, which was stranded off the New Jersey coast near Chadwick, April 20th, 1901. She was loaded with hides from Buenos Ayres, S. A. Total number of permits issued during the year was 103.

Respectfully submitted,

E. A. HULTS, M.D.,

Health Officer, Port of Perth Amboy, N. J.
