INSURE THEM TO LAND
Nezc Plan to Stimulate Immigration
REGARDED ILLEGAL.

Washington, Nov. IA new plan has been
brought to the attention of the immigration
authorities to induce immigration from foreign
countries to the United States. Thus far the
plan is known to be in operation only in Italy,
but it probably will be extended to other Euro
pean countries Two companies, known respec-
lively as Unione Meridionale and La Ligure
Americana, have been organized to issue to
prospective immigrants policies of insurance
that they will be landed on arrival in America
The premium charged for each policy is 81, the
companies guaranteeing to refund the imrl1i-
grants transportation charge in the event Of his
deportation from this country.
A number Of smship lines represented
as the sponsors for the insurance companies
The matter has been investigated by the law off,
GERS of the immigration bureau and an opinion
has been rendered that the scheme is in viola
ton of legislative prohibition. It is held that,
under the Law, steamship companies may not
offer anything in the way of inducement to en-
courage immigration to the United States. What
action may be taken by the government authori-
ties has not been determined.

shall not be rendered futile by exces-
sive cost caused by months Of delay in
the completion of your building. Loss
of TINE alone in the case of many
of our great buildings increased the
contemplated investment by from
twenty-five to fifty per cent, while
the rental income cannot be increased
even five per cent. There is no pos
sibiIity of raising income to meet the
unlocked for changed conditions and
there is no redress.
The chief reason of the past for
those intending to profit by the pres
ent real opportunities for good invest
ments in large mercantile buildings is
that COST INSURANCE is the
first and the vital consideration.
