Present proposals for use of Ellis Island are dominated by a $2.100.000 cash offer for the island to build a selfcontained city designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Other smaller scale offers envisage the island as a resort. as a historic reconstruction of downtown Manhattan as the Nations first Capital. of the nature of Williamburg. Va.. as a Biblical study center. as a living museum of immigration. In fact specific proposals for the use of this island are legion. ranging from the practicable to the bizarre. But in the meantime the only use of the island which actually obtains is the negative use of nothing. with the requirement of maintenance.
