  • Public Health Reports
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS. UNITED STATES. DEATH OF PRESIDENT McKINLEY. On September 14, President William McKinley died, the cause of death being a gunshot wound of the abdomen received one week before at the hands of an assassin. He was buried September 19, at Canton, Ohio. It is fitting to here record the death of the Chief Executive of the Nation, under whose general oversight the affairs of this Bureau and the Department to which it belongs have been conducted, and under whose special authorization some of its most important transactions have been performed. To the admiration and love for President McKinley, inspired by his statesmanship, his manhood, and personal qualities, there should be added a just appreciation of his prompt response to requests for action in matters pertaining to the public health. It is recalled that at the close of the Spanish-American war he immediately provided by Executive order for the necessary quarantine restraints in Cuba and Porto Rico and subsequently in the Philippines. Later he gave his support to the measures put in operation by the Treassury Department to insure safety from impoitation of disease with the returning troops from Cuba; and in 1899 when the yellow fever appeared in the National Soldiers' Home near Hampton, Va., his solici- tude both for the public safety and for the 3,000 veterans of the civil war who were the inmates of that institution was such that he requested and received daily from this Bureau a report stating the progress of the disease and the success of the measures being taken to prevent its spread.

  • Population & Demographics
    APPENDIX Population & APPENDIX: POPULATION & Demographics DEMOGRAPHICS The most important resource available to a community is its people. While the City is often thought of as a single entity, it is a dynamic network of established and new neighborhoods, employment centers, commercial areas, and school districts that are fundamental affected by population and demographic changes. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS Population Population change is the result of two factors: natural increase (the difference between births and deaths) and net migration (the change in people moving to/from the community). Most local population growth typically occurs from individuals and families moving to a community, usually for economic opportunity or quality of life reasons. The City’s population has undergone several phases throughout its history. The City experienced steady – and in some decades dramatic – growth through the 19th and early 20th centuries, reaching its peak population of 77,634 residents in 1950. The subsequent three decades were marked by a sharp decline in population. This decline is consistent with several national trends that destabilized many U.S. cities. These include a rapid post World War II housing boom and suburbanization of outlying, formerly rural communities as well as large-scale urban renewal projects that reconfigured and sometimes removed existing urban neighborhoods. In the past three decades, however, the City’s population has stabilized and appears to be entering a new phase of renewed growth. DEMOGRAPHIC HIGHLIGHTS • Portland is the largest city in Maine, with a 2010 population of 66,194 and a 2015 estimate by the US Census Bureau of 66,681 (nearly double that of Lewiston, the state’s second largest City).

Oral argument was heard on this matter on May 7, 2017. For the following reasons, Plaintiff's appeal is granted. I. Background Bay Ferries operates a roundtrip ferry service between Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Portland, Maine aboard a vessel named HSV Alakai, commonly referred to as "The CAT." The CAT operates seasonally five days a week. State law requires The CAT to take a licensed pilot each time it enters and departs from Portland Harbor. P. & S.L. 1981, ch. 98, § 5.2. Defendant Pilots are the only pilots operating in Portland Harbor. For its pilotage services, Bay Ferries must pay to Pilots a minimum pilotage fee, which is set by the Board. The Board is "a public body corporate and politic and is charged with responsibility for the regulation of navigation and commerce within Portland Harbor...." P. & S.L. 1981, ch. 98, §\2. Pilotage fees are the product of the pilotage rate multiplied by the number of pilot units (a unit of measurement based on the size 1 of 11 Bay Ferries-Matthew Warner, Esq./ Harold Pachios, Esq.
