Sec. 112. Removal of revenue officers from port during epidemic

    Whenever, by the prevalence of any contagious or epidemic disease in 
or near the place by law established as the port of entry for any 
collection district, it becomes dangerous or inconvenient for the 
officers of the revenue employed therein to continue the discharge of 
their respective offices at such port, the Secretary of the Treasury, 
or, in his absence, the Undersecretary of the Treasury, may direct the 
removal of the officers of the revenue from such port to any other more 
convenient place, within, or as near as may be to, such collection 
district. And at such place such officers may exercise the same powers, 
and shall be liable to the same duties, according to existing 
circumstances, as in the port or district established by law. Public 
notice of any such removal shall be given as soon as may be.
