At great expense the Government had to supply the people with water by boats. It was very expensive. At the present time the officials in charge of the immigrant station in New York are distributing the contagiousdisease cases in the various hospitals in the city of New York. and last year paid out over $90.000 on account of not being able to treat them in our own hospitals. and the conditions are such at that port that it makes it absolutely necessary that they shall have relief at the earliest possible moment. If the gentleman will take the testimony and read the statement of the CommissionerGeneral at New York. I am satisfied he would not hesitate a moment to say that this is absolutely urgent and absolutely necessary.
