Dredging will be necessary in order to geta channel and secure proper approaches at great cost. I do not know how much. Then. again. in case of fog. vessels carrying these immigrants to and from the island will be liable to collision and disaster. There are all these objections to it. In my opinion the location ought to be on the mainland. where it will be convenient to the railroad depots. by which these immigrants desire to go out West and to different parts of the country. The resolution passed by thejoint committee declared simply not in favor of any place. but that the committee had not seen and had not information enough to be completely. as well as wisely. able to select a depot. and that we wanted further time in order to obtain further information. This hasty action was taken by ingrafting on this resolution a provision for the removing of these stores. and hence the committee have not looked over the whole field and determined which was the proper place.
