The extra fees or charges referred to by my colleague are added by the notarial officers who procure the passport for the traveler and who are citizens of the United States. The fees referred to in the report. however. as amounting to $13 and upwards to those going to Cuba -ire the fees authorized by foreign laws and charged to our countrymen by foreign officers. besides the $5 first collected by our own Government. If a man who is in a hurry to embark goes to New York without providing himself with a passport. and then just before starting wishes a broker of passports to obtain one for him. he usually pays the broker $10 instead of $5. the broker charging a fee of $5 for his services. If the naturalized citizen of Chicago. referred to by my colleague. had only addressed the Department of State. "Passport Burean." he would. upon proper information and proof. have his passport for $5. This bill reduces the cost to $1.
