![133. A relief-station of the Marine-Hospital Service is a port situated on any navigable water of the United States where an officer of the customs or Marine-Hos- pital Service is on duty. 134. All relief-stations where the service is under the charge of a medical officer of the Marine-Hospital Serv- ice shall be known as relief-stations of Class i. Relief- stations where specific arrangements have been made for the care, and treatment of sick or disabled seamen at rates fixed by the Treasury Department, but where collectors of customs, on account of the absence of a medical officer of the Service, are authorized and re- quired to issue permits, and to supervise the relief fur- nished, shall be known as relief-stations of Class 2. All other ports where there are officers of the customs rev- enue, but where, on account of the infrequency of appli- cations for relief, the absence of any hospital, or from other causes, sick or disabled seamen are cared for only in cases of emergency, shall be known as relief-stations of Class 3. 135.
