The committee only allows $60.000 for the hospital. anyway. The Government architects estimate for the hospital was $110.000. The committee thinks that it can be built cheaper than the estimate. They have cut down the gross appropriation by $50.000. because. as they tell us. the hospital can be built for less money. That leaves $60.000 as the estimate for the hospital. Yet they come before Congress asking for an increase of $270.000. just about double the amount which last year we decided to be sufficient. Think of spending $550.000 for buildings to take care of a trifle of 33.00 immigrants per year.
