Mr. Speaker. the report shows that within. the past two years $250.000 has been expended in the construction of a new prison building on thisisland. It occurs to me that there is no immediate need for 9 change of the control of this building from the War Department to the Immigration Departuent. except that it be for the satisfaction of sone citizens In San Francisco to improve the harbor and have these buildings designated as an immigration station rather than as a prison. Further than that. it means that a large appropriationwill soon be asked for in. the improving of the harbor and for. the construction of other prison buildings on the mainland. I object.
