Chairman Concurs.

The President (Mr. G. R. Sayer) said that while concurring that a change was necessary, he was not unminiful of the devoted work done by past member of the Board in attacking small-pox. The original resolution, he said. was passed by a unanimous vote and the M. O. H., at the time, gave adhesion in the following terms: "I agree that the risks run are counterbalanced by the decreme in dumping; the prevention of con- cealment of cases and the number of vaccination contacts."

Mr. Sayer continued that the M.O.. now withdrew his consent and told them that once small-pox appeared in the community, it was

sential for effective control that his legal powers of Isolation should not be restricted. He add- el that in the fare of Dr. Pope's export technical advice he thought the Board would hesitate tong be- fore going against the resolution.
