Ire the conductors to be responsible

i be well for tho county to place
lector of theso roads at the county
alssloncr HIrsch offered tho suggei
In his opinion the railroad con
owed first their fealty to their
ri and he did not see how they
be made to perform duties that
be auxiliary to the quarantine serv
knew that the oaths of passengers
of emergency could not be relied
fit ho thought the plan might bo
whereby each passenger should
red to furnish a health certificate
by some reputable physician presl
a board of health or county Judge

a any infected districts within a
of ten dajs
McElroy said ho would rather rely

ho purposed to quarantine all trunk lines

Pending a reply to this message tho
court adjourned until 3 p in when after
considerable delay Dr Swearlngen was
reached by telephone Ho advised the
board that In bis Judgment there was no
necesslt for tho Institution ot a quaran-
tine by tho county that he had estab-
lished quarantine at Waskom where tlin
Texas ami Pacific enters tho State and
at Texarkana In addition to quarantines
at tho Stato lino on the Southern Pacific
and at Logansport L < a but that no quar-
antine had been placed at Denlson or at
Paris as In his judgment this precaution
was unnecessary
In view of tho above tho board decided
to defer the matter of establishing a quar
antlno for tho present leaving It to the
county Judge to coll the board together at
any time when In his Judgment the em-
ergency may present itself
