Speaker. it is not intended by this bill that the use of thisbuilding by the State of South Carolina shall be permanent. The object of the bill is simply to allow the Naval Militia to occupy this building while It is not being used by the Government of the United States. It has been erected for four years. and not a door has been opened. In order to use this immigration station. it will require improvements. including a sea wall and filling to connect it with the mainland. Today there is simply a dock and a building. It costs the Government $70 a month for a caretaker. and the Government is making no use of it.
