Bureau of Public Health.

Recent advices from Washington D.C. assert that a bill, creating a "Bureau of Public Health," has been prepared under the approval and personal direction of the President and members of his cabinet. The bill was prepared under the auspices of the National Quarantine Committee of the New York Academy of Medicine. It is urged by the distinguished physicians who are mainly responsible for the bill that it is not fair to ask the coast States to bear the whole expense of protecting the nation. It is understood that the New York Chamber of Commerce will co-operate with the Academy of Medicine, together with many committees from medical societies, in securing the passage of the law. The new bill created nine sanitary districts in the United States which cover the whole country. A million dollars is appropriated by the bill and this is to be expended under the direction of the President and according to his discretion in meeting emergencies arising out of the enforcement of the act.
