In looking back at the history Of former legislation in
this State importing hospital money other uuta
tatdon for passengers arriving from abroad the port of
New York 1t appears that the moneys thus received
under different laws an paid by alien emigrants have
much exceeded amount all the expenditures for the aid

that there annually applied out Of the funds thus

to State or local Obects quite foreign to the avowed
