There are accommodations in this building for 300 persons. and in recent years not more than 30 or 35 beds have been used. It is proposed by the charitable organizations of San Francisco. if this bill be enacted into law. to use the building as a lodging place for .iomeless men. I may say that only a few weeks ago this buildig was used for the refugees who u.-ere brought by the Government transports from MexicoAmerican citizens who were brought to San Francisco by reason of the disturbed conditions in our sister Republic. The amendments which thecommittee has made to the Senate bill. in my judgment. entirely safeguard the rights of the Government. There is a provision that Congress reserves the right to amend. alter. or repeal the act at any time.
