Tie only information we had was the evidence taken by the House committee. It developed that the number of immigrants received had been very large at times. and especially before the law was recently passed curtailing immigration. and that it has very sensibly decreased since. It is noticeable that at New York and Boston. where no one questions the necessity of having ample facilities. there seemed to be the building of new barracks included. When the bill was before the House committee that feature seemed to have been rather emphasized. because in the great rush of immigration they have had to use even some boats for additional space for the care of the immigrants while entering the country. Of course. Philadelphia and Baltimore were also asking for something.
