THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT
4 Decision as 20 the Use of an Ap-
preparation for Buildings.

DBppTfIaHon 1DT buildings.
In reply to on enquiry from the Score
tary Of the Treasury relating to the use
OF appropriations for enforcement Of The
Chinese Exclusion act, and for expenses
regulating immigration, Robert J. Trace
well, Comptroller OF the Currency. held
that the former was authorized by the
terms Of these appropriations to lease the
necessary buildings 10 carry out the pro
visions of the act Mr.. TraceweIT saws
The act provides means for the removal
of Chinese persons not lawfully entitled
to remain in the United States. and con-
tinues in force for d period Of ten years.
all laws now in force prOhibitory and reg
ulating the coming into this country of
Chinese persons and persons Of Chinese
descent. The laws then in force provided
! for the suspension of the coming Of Chi
nese Iaborers into the United States and
that during such suspension it shall not
/ be lawful for any such labOrcr to come
into or to remain in the United States
The appropriation for regulating immi-
grafton Is a permanent appropriation
+! made by the act Of August ,. 1852 This
act provides for the collection of a duty
for alien passengers coming into the
United States by vessels from foreign
ports which is to ne paid into the Treas
.
Their provides that this money shall be
used to defTay the expenses Of TeguIat-
ing immigration there and for the care Of
irnmisran ts arriving in the United States.
for the relief Of such as are in distress.
and for the general purposes and expenses
of carrying this act into effect
If the leasing or the construction Of
the buildings contemplated IS deemed nee
essary for the objects for which these ap-
preparations are made, think the terms
Of the appropriations are sufficiently
broad 70 authorize the expenditures there
for. An express provision is not necessa-
~ for every item of expenditure under an
appropriation. 1t is a well established
principle in the construction Of acts max
ing appropriations that where spprOpTia-
lion is made for a particular object, by
implication, it confers authority to incur
expenditures which are necessary 10 its
execution, or appropriate CT incident
thereto. unless there Is another apprOprIa-
ton which makes more specific provision
for SuCh expenditures, or un."Ss they are
/ prohibited by law.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
Further Discussion Over the Site
for the New C0Iored School.

Views of the BrOoI<Innd Citizens
Association Upon the MATERNITY
sicians to the Poor Placed Under
Control of the Board of Charities.
Charles A Harbaugh, Secretary of the
Erooi,Iand Citizens Association, has ad-
dressed the Commissioners with refer
enee to the site of the proposed colored
schooIhouse in that suburb He calls
attention to d letter recently sent to the
Commissioners by the special committee
of the association and informs the board
OF recent action by the association.
Mr. TEarbauEh states that the entire rec
ommendatiou of the school authorities
was supported by the special committee
and unanimously endorsed by the assoc
citation He says further that in order
to bring she action of the association into
complete harmony with both rccOmmen-
dations of the school authorities he has
been directed to inform the Commission
ers that the association recommends the
following as a suitable site for the col
ored schooIhouse for BTookiand within
the meaning of the law:
Any part of the territory bounded by
Omaha Street on the north, Bunker Hill
Road on the south and east and the
metropolitan BTaECh OF the baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on the west.
Mr.. Harbaugh calls especial attention
to the advantages of this location, and
requests that the Commissioners adver-
tisc for bids for a site in this territory
Mr. Harbaugh points out that the tract
referred to is very near the centre Of the
coIorcd population of BrookIand- He says
it is not far from the Town Hall He
shows that Ninth Street northeast passes
through the centre of it, and that q
trunk sewer has its terminus at Ninth
Street and Bunker Hill Road, requiring
a lateral sewer to be run only 4 short
distance to serve the building located
within the limits named. He says that
the c0I0red schoolhoUse located here
would be practically the same distance
from the railroad as the white school
Mr. Harbaugh says the location of the
coIored school somewhere on Ninth Street
would hasten the opening OF that thor
oughfare through the suburb. He in
forms the Commissioners that all the land
within the limits named has been sub
divided in anticipation of the extension
OF Ninth and Omaha Streets He thinks
that d site there can be bought at rea-
sonabIe figure. that it can be easily
/ brought to grade, and that IL would be
/ found desirable in all respects for

Commissioners to have the assessment
for improvements on lots 50, 81 60 Il, ~
., s, and part Of :, square 214, Cancelled
