They take better care of them there. Only a few years ago a man who had some form of contagious disease was stuck out in a building not fit to live in. and nobody permitted to go near him. except some one to leave food and then hustle away. Now. if these people coming in here. paying this head tax. have a contagious disease when they land they ought to be properly taken care of. If they need additional facilities at Ellis Island. as they say they do. to provide proper care for these people who have contagious diseases. both for the benefit of the person who has the disease and those who do not want it. they ought to have additional facilities. I wish gentlemen could see their way clear. having voted down all the other amendments. to permit these propositions in behalf of the people afflicted with contagious diseases to be properly provided for.
