Criticism of Ellis Island as too expensive to maintain in these days of lessened immigration, made by Mr. Husband in bis address to the members of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society of America in the Sunday talk, were answered by Commissioner Curran.

Mr. Husband in speaking of the cost of maintaining Ella Island said that the bigo cost was attributable to the fact that the facilities bad been install to banale a maximum of 000 immigrants a day, and that the average Duw was only 300 a day. There has been a good deal of talk lately about abolishing Ellis said Commissioner Curran, and Mr. Husband reference to it in b:s speech on Sunday takes it desirable to give the facts. The fac are that Ellis Island was not built to a MAXIMUM OF 000 IMMIGRANTS DAY, in fact no special number was in mind when it was built From time to time, under the old immigration law, 2, 000 or 000 immigrants were banaled in a day, but they were not decently or confortably handled. They were not thoroughly inspected, either When the rush of immigration was at its ak even the facilities we have at the island today would have been inadequate to handle the new comers properly. The present day average of 3000 is just about right for the plant now, hings can be done throughly. We can, however, handle 1, 000 a day.
Today we had about 800 immigrants arriving, of which about Were examined on the ships. Statements have been made that the upkeep of the island is 1, 000, 000 dollars a year. That is not correct; the upkeep is only 200, 000 dollars a year. It would be well to consider the fact that to move the station elsewhere would mean that the Government must pay rent. No small site would do. change would mere ly be a stupid waste of the tax Wherever we might go we would have to maintain the present personnel of about 500, so that there would be nothing gained in that direction. Then another thing is this: people talk about moving the station from the island, but nobody ever sug.
gests where it sball be located.
We seem to be in the position of being all dressed up with no place to go. For the sake of the immigrants themselves it is right HAND IRONERS Wanted payer money.
