The Medical Officer detailed under this order as Quarantine Officer
at the Port of Manila shall be the Chief Quarantine Officer for the
Philippine Islands. It shall be his duty to make appointments and
removals from the service in the Philippines (subject to the approval
of the Secretary of the Treasury), and shall authorize necessary
expenditures under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury
may prescribe.
The regulations for the government of the Marine Hospital Service shall,
so far as practicable, have force and effect in the management of the
Quarantine service in the Philippine Islands.
The expenses of the Quarantine service will be charged against the
revenues of the islands, and a sum not to exceed three hundred thousand
dollars ($300,000.00) in each fiscal year is hereby set aside from the
revenues collected in said islands for this purpose. The expenses shall
be paid therefrom upon a certificate of a detailed quarantine officer
and upon the approval of the Chief Officer for the Philippine Islands.
