Tbe member of the committee present were Senators Rock 11, Baker, and Jacobs, John. E. Alexandre, member of tbe firm of Alexandre A which runs a line of steamers between this port and Havana, was called as a witness, but he said be attended to a department of bis firm that was not possessed of tbe fact which jbe supposed tbe committee wanttid, Be would only testify from hearsay, and -bis infor mation derived in tbat way was to tbe effect Uat there had been no complaint on the part of his firm with the Bnaaacement ot quarantine or or tne ittea charged by tbe Health Aaron Vanderb.lt.

of'the firm of Ward 4 owners of another line of steam-ships running between ork. ana Havana, was then called. He aald his line ran four steamers, each one of.whlch made, on an avenure, 17 trip a vear. The Quarantine fees for each ves-elon eacb trip amounted to or aunoe ine quar antine season. There was a tee ot as so tor ooara-Ing, another fee of $18 for fumigation, and another of S10 for i inspection" In tbe Upper Bay.

It cost the firm about 1,000 a year for Quarantine fees on their ateamers. This did not Include the 42 per day charged for board of sick ratlent transierreo irora tueir steamer me owmuurue Island Hospital, nor the burial fee In case the patients died. These fees were paid to tbe Quarantine Commissioners while the other fee went to the Health Officer. Wit nets could not say whether the charge for board iar patients at tbe hospital had been Increased from SI to S3 per day by the Dresent commission or not. His firm had never.

to bis knowledge, complained of this, charge or of any of tbe "other quarantine fees. Ibe inspec tion" ieeor iu. ne saia. ne oeiievea was cnargea bv the predecessor of tbe present Health Officer. The firm selected tbeir own lightermen, who were licensed to too the work by the Health Officer or the Quarantine Commissioners, Health officer Smith, who.

was present during, tbe examination of the witness, explained to the committee that what was called the "Inspection fee was fur inspecting a vessel after it arrived I la the Upper Bay to aee whether it waa In proper sanitary condition, and for personal examination of the crew to ascertain whether they were suffering from eoptacion. 'There was no statute, he said.

But that was five years before I became Commissioner.

It la just as well not to get things mixed, even for the purpose of depriving a political adversary of whatever credit he mlrot elaim for th efficient aad economical administration of a pBbltoofE, bo much for tbe trutn of history. aow tori tne question itseii. riue pretext tor qaaraatine Is to auard against the intrusion of eon-; tagtoas dlaeases to tbe port of New-York.

Fur this purpose a Health Officer is appointed, who receive fees greatly diaproportioaate to the value ot the service rendered. The boarding fee was Cxed year axo, when the comparatively re-i at ricted commerce made it not anreasonable. But the conditions have changed. The time change to SO rears, but tbe fee of the Health Officer do not cbena- with tbem.
