Why did they select a site where the committee now states is an insanitary location. and unfitted for the purpose. six or eight blocks away from the waters edge? I do not know whether the building ought to be on the waters edge. eonvenient to the attack of mosquitoes. or not. but certainly the Government has acquired no new information on that subject in the last two years. They knew as well two years ago whether the immigration station ought to be on the waters edge .as they know now. Who was responsible for the selection of this site? The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. fixing praetically the amount which could be expended for the purpose at $13.000. now proposes to increase that amount. if we make a direct purchase. to $35.000. and if we make an exchange. to an indefinite sumh. We have no report from the department which has charge of the immigration service. It files this report and letter from the Secretary of the Treasury. Even that letter is unsatisfactory and gives no information.
