Federal and local health officers invoked a Florida law to close the houses for prostitution near army and navy centers. Violators face fines up to 1000 dollars or six months in jail. Dr. Wilson T. Sowder, US Public Health Service, described this as a first use of quarantine in curbing vice and social disease. Fort Barrancas and the naval air station urged local action.
