N;EssRs EpIToHs-l noticed in the ELprssS Ct
the 1Sth inst e statement OF the Tenants OF he
Aims House and PenlieHtiaiiss, and also q report
relatiye to the Bonding of Alien Pasaengers, Nc.
und gracd douIish is made OF the importance OF
said report; &c lfthe Committee will please refer
10 : reoor, made By the Special Comuittoe of the
Board OF Aldermen in March, 1913, (-ec Doc. No.
lns cf said Bosrdi they viii there see the whole
evils of the system Of bonding inlv exposed. But
| presume il would not suit the present Immaculate
Common Council TO give any credit 10 the acts OF any
former Boards and hence the reason why The report
above referred 10 is not evsn mentioned by them.


Now beg 20 differ entirely from the Committee in
their conclusions. There is no necessity OF gong
TO Congress for redress it rests entirely with our
own Legislature; cad simple enactment 10y them
will Mt remedy ali The evils OF which the Com
mii,se complain.


The option Of bonding siould be reScindea ard
a com8utati0H iH erery case enfOrced say CT from
So TO So Tor each passenger. Now let us gee what
the effect of such law WCuld have been the pas
yc6r. Ii is we'll know that over G0OO0 alien pas
seneevs arrived al this TO,t during that period,
which, at So per head, won amo1Dttn over SlSU uuU
Or at So 10 over $30hGO0, sum quito adequate TO
pay The whOie expenses Of the foreign PauPeT poPu-
Lation aSuGlly q charge on the AhmS kcnse depart
meRt.


BY the present laws the Mayor is authorized TO
commute al any sum from 81 TO SiO each (those De-
inc the inin.tin, and maximum rGtes and II the
agents or owners Of vessels decline pe,ng the rates
imposed by the Mayor they have The optisn Of bond,
tnS, and hence Ike large amount 81 6SndS le!efreu
10 by the Committee in their repot.


Now TO remedy this enormous evi, let the Common
CoupciI apply to the Legislature .r such an altera-
tion in the present Laws as will do away win te
g Bonding System,'' and make it imperative upon
every Captain, Agent or owner OF vessels bringing
alien passengers 10 coninute Tor The same, ana you
WILL 10 my opinion, remedy the evils OF when 'ne
Committee complain, as we'll as relieve this saS-
ridden City ola part offs heavy burdens de.,,,,c,,s
