If my first amendment prevails to strike out the word " toward " and insert " for " it would authorize the construction at $350.000 and appropriate the full amount to pay therefor. I shall not take up further time. Amongst many other urgent items to which I will call attention touching the Ellis Island Immigration Station immediately following the disposition of this. this was of such importance that the Committee on Appropriations authorized its construction. Now. one of two things. it seems to me. ought to be doneeither the appropriation ought to be $350.000 or. in the absence of that. if only $150.000 can be expended the first year. there ought to be authority to contract for the remainder of the cost. in my judgment.
