Description:Excerpt from Report of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association of Jacksonville, Florida: Covering the Work of the Association During the Yellow Fever Epidemic, 1888 In presenting this report of the Executive Committee of the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association to the public, a few words of introduction are permissible and necessary. The report is mainly a history of the work of the Association; incidentally, it touches upon the relations of the Association with the recognized authorities and their labors during the recent yellow fever epidemic. The early formation of the Association was the result of a belief existing in the minds of its founders that it was necessary for the citizens to organize with the authorities and meet the crisis as a unit. Experience had shown that the local authorities, and more especially the health authorities of the county and city, were hampered by the freely expressed criticisms of citizens who exercised their inalienable rights of free speech without restraint, and quite frequently upon unreliable information and a partial or entire misunderstanding of the situation. And by this we do not mean that the authorities were always right and the citizens wrong, but only that right or wrong, there was no united action based on equal information, actuated by like motives, adapted to effect the same result by similar means. It was to effect such a union, desirable at all times, imperatively necessary when the announcement was made that yellow fever actually existed in Jacksonville, that the Jacksonville Auxiliary Sanitary Association was formed. The authorities welcomed the new organization heartily, as they at once perceived the advantage to be derived from crystallizing public sentiment, and the relations of the Association and its Executive Committee to the authorities during its existence have always been cordial. It was frequently the case that a difference of opinion existed, but the Executive Committee, while it frankly expressed the views of its members, consistently regarded its auxiliary character and carefully avoided any action that might seem to infringe upon the official rights and duties of the other organizations. The Association was democratic in its membership, the fees were nominal, and all interested in relief and sanitary work were invited to join, but its organizers believed in centralizing its power, and the Articles of Association show this view was carried out in the provisions adopted for its official machinery.
