There has been more or less request to the New York Members to secure an increase of this appropriation. I think it is only fair to say in regard to the committee that while my colleague and myself were before the committee and tried with our might to get the appropriatiot increased. that there is a good deal to be said In relation to our own laxity in New York State before we ask any more from the General Government. Men who are duly qualified to be naturalized in the county of New York and who go to the naturalization office to take out their final papers are told to come back In May and Jume. 1911. because the supreme court. which is the highest court in our county. will only take so many cases a week. and in the month of January. with 150.000 qualified aliens in our city to be naturalized. our supreme court sat only seven hours for that purpose. While I would like to see more clerks and more first papers. it seems to me to be the honest thing to say that until we provide more judicial facilities to get out the second papers we ought not to ask very much in relation to more first papers. It Is an outrage that a qualified alien has to wait a year in order to make application to the court for final naturalization.
