I take it that when the committee examined into the matter and made a report to the House they endeavored to ascertain something in regard to what a site would cost and how much ought to be expended for a site and a building. It seems there was allotted for the purchase of the site $13.000. I take it that there must have been some consultation between the officers of the Department of Commerce and Labor. the Immigration Service. and the Supervising Architects Office before they determined upon the amount of money that should be expended for the building. Of course the balance might be utilized for a site. It seems they went ahead and purchased a site for a trifle over $13.000.
