Dear Sir:—Eeplying to j'our kind favor of the 1st instant, I would
state, in accordance with your views and the other members of the State
Board of Health, and after viewing the situation as it is, that, section 2 of
the act to amend section 2915 of The Code as follows : "For the purpose of
carrying into effect the provisions of section 2915 as herein amended the
sum of twenty thousand (?20,000) dollars is hereby appropriated out of
any moneys in the State Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be paid
from time to time, as required in the prosecution of the work, on the
requisition of the Treasurer of the Quarantine Board and aj)proved by
its President: Provided, that the funds appropriated by this act shall
not be paid over by the Treasurer until the Governor and State
Board of Health of North Carolina shall certify to the Treasurer that
there is imminent danger of cholera visiting the city of AVilmington or
other sections of the State," makes it my plain duty to inform j^ou that
the amount appropriated ($20,000) is now available, and can be used
in carrying out the pi-ovisions of the act.

My' dear Doctor:—In compliance with your communication of the 11th
ult., calling upon the State Board of Health to "take up the question
