Mr. Chairman. by the acceptance of the House of the quarantine station at New York City. for the first time the Government of the United States will do the real inspecting of immigrants when they arrive from Europe. For a long numnber of years that burden has fallen upon the State of New York. and it has cost the State of New York several million (lollars to perform the work which the Government. should have been doing. Heretofore the Public Health Service has been a secondary force in inspecting arrivals at New York. and it is fitting and proper that the Federal Government should do it.
