Chairman. I am opposed to the amendment of the gentleman from Massachusetts. which. in effect. strikes from the bill all appropriations for buildings not yet commenced.. It would strike from the bill the appropriation of. $300.000 for the immigration station provided.for the city of Baltimore. It is useless. for me to say how badly we need these buildings. I have spoken before the House on several occasions and have said that we now have practically no Government provision whatever for the Immigration Service at our city. but this appropriation will begin the work. which will be second to none in. construction and usefulness in this country. Baltimore does not ask that the Government do things alone. she cooperates and does those things she can for herself. It is a coincidence that 11 years ago this afternoon the great fire which swept the business section of Baltimore began.
