with a view of obtaining a transfer of the site and plants to the United States, and whenever the proper authorities shall be ready to transfer the same or surrender the use thereof to the United States, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to obtain title thereto or possession and use thereof, and to pay a reasonable compensation therefor, if, in his opinion, such purchase or use will be necessary to the United States for quarantine purposes and the quarantine stations established by authority of this Act shall, when so established, be used to prevent the introduction of all quarantinable diseases. [34 Stat. L. 301.]

SEC. 6. [Jurisdiction of United States.] That whenever any established station, or any land or water, or any part thereof, shall be acquired by the United States under the provisions of this Act, jurisdiction over the same shall be ceded to the United States by any State in which the same is situated before any compensation therefor shall be paid. [34 Stat. L. 301.]

Section 7 made an appropriation for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Act. It is omitted as temporary and executed.

[SEC. 1.] [Prevention of epidemics — appropriation — report of expenditures.] * Prevention of epidemics: To enable the President, in case only of threatened or actual epidemic of cholera, typhus fever, yellow fever, smallpox, bubonic plague, Chinese plague or black death, or trachoma, to aid State and local boards, or otherwise, in his discretion, in preventing and suppressing the spread of the same, and in such emergency in the execution of any quarantine laws which may be then in force, $500,000: Provided, That a detailed report of the expenditures hereunder shall annually hereafter be submitted to Congress. [38 Stat. L. 837.]

This is from the Sundry Civil Appropriation Act of March 3, 1915, ch. 75. Similar provisions have appeared in like Appropriation Acts for previous years, and, while the appropriation relates only to the particular fiscal year, the provisions requiring an annual report would seem to be permanent.
