Mr. President. in the earlier consideration of the bill I inquired of the chairman of the committee. the Senator from Wyoliiing . if he had an estimate from the Treasury Department for $200.000 for the improvement of the quarantine station at New York. I explained at the time that the State of New York had turned this quarantine station over to the Government yesterday and that I had understood tile Treasury Department had made an estimate foir the improvenient. .Since that time the chairman of the committee has received an estimate. I merely wish to state thatI have a letter here in connection with the matter from the Secretary of the Treasury. who strongly urges that the appropriation be made. in view of the threatened epidemic of typhus as a result of the large immigration to this country during the past few weeks. I propose to submit an amendment to cover the matter. and I shall ask the Senator from Wyoming not to object. but to let it go to conference.
