Yes. sir. it also includes the original site and a right of way. The net amount. therefore. would be $600.000 less $"...250. or $566.750. The size of an immigration station Is not determined by tile total number of immigrants that are landed in one year. but by the total number that may be landed in one day. The policy of the Immigration Service is to put through in 24 hours all the immigrants who arrive In one vessel. or who are landed during 24 hours. Therefore It Is the individual landing that fixes the size of the station rather than the total number of immigrants that are landed a year. If the port receives. or lands. at one time. say. 2.000 Immigrants. the station must be larger if there is but one landing a week than the station which lands 1.000 immigrants twice a week. The immigration port at Baltimore. Mr. Stump informs me. has landed as many as 3.000 immigrants in one day. Of course. if they had a landing every day as large as that it would bring the yearly total up to that of the Ellis Island station. or 900.000 Immigrants. At the present Baltimore has three landings a week. I believe.
