Mr. Speaker. at a session of the House. January 23. 1925. I called attention to the conditions along the Canadian border adjoining Vermont in respect to buildings for the Customs Service and the Immigration Service. The ports of entry along the border are in relatively small villages. but they have become important by reason of increasing automobile traffic. At that time I called attention to the conditions existing at one of these ports. that of Derby Line. which was typical. There the Government agents were making their inspection and doing their work on a hotel piazza or in the street. though several hundred thousand people passed the station every year.
