l. Kathman, late Chief of the Bureau of In
: migration, beg leave to submit the followin
, report:
:, That, in the opinion of your COMMITTEES
}, the continuance of the Bureau of Immigrs
ton has become a necessity in promotin
and developing the agricultural resource
It of this State. The inducements held out
!. immigrants to settle in the Western an
/ North western States are of such characte
that great majority of immigrants arrivin
E. at this port embark directly upon steam
boats for st. Louis and other Western cities
A mere glance at the central location, i
T. q commercial point of view, the unsurpasse
n fertility of the soil, its many nayigabl
water courses, and the ease wit
which artificial means OF communicf
ton may be established owing TO Il
e easy grade upon which railroads and cana
!. may be constructed, will convince the mo
a casual observer that Louisiana is unsu
u passed in her agricultural and commerci
l. advantages.
Your Committee after having read the al
nual report of the late Chief OF the Burea
! of immigration, and carefully examined Il
,e books of the officer, would respectfully sui
NIT the accompanying bill for your earne
n consideration.
