Will the gentleman answer in his own stead or allow his colleague to answer the question I was about to put to him? The question is as to the necessity for this building and for an appropriation of so much larger sum than was appropriated for Galveston and Charleston250.000 instead of $70.000. It appeared to be the statement of members of the committee on the floor that undesirable immigrants were coming in larger numbers to the port of Philadelphia because it was impossible for the United States to enforce the law in view of the condition of the buildings there. If that be true. I will ask the gentleman if he does not think if the laws are enforced the number of people will not come to this new building. and it will not be needed?
