Miles of smooth streets have been laid. and today she is one of the bestpaved cities in the country. A sewerage system costing $23.000.000 has been. constructed. and is the best in the world. The Key- Highway. named after the author of the StarSpangled Banner. has been largely constructed. leading from the center of the city. connecting with all the business sections. the railroads. and wharves. and reaching the site where the proposed immigration station is to be erected. This will give easy access from the railroads and steamship lines to the new immigration station for which this appropriation is intended. It will open to all railroads and steamship lines which come to Baltimore this new immigration. whereas now this business is controlled by one steamship line and one railroad. I wish to call the committees attention also to the admirable location of Baltimore from a commercial standpoint. It is pretty generally known that Baltimore is closer to the Middle .West than any of the other Atlantic seaports.
