It is only in cases of emergency that the power is to be excroised, and when the emergency arises it is leairable it should be met with as little red tapo and pircumlocution se poulblo. If the power ware confided to the hands of incompetent or untrustworthy officers no doubt it would be abused and might be made the occasion of bribery, but the officers are to be specially appointed by the Sanitary Board and ap proved, by the Governor, which may bo takon as a sufficient guarantee that they will be men whose characters are abov spicion; they will, moreover, be subjected to very clasa observation on the part
