Dear Sir:-I beg to submit herewith
sundry exhibits in connection with the
receipts and expenditures of the Board
of immigration, as well as statistics
showing cost of immigrants from all
sources, from the date of organization
of the board in April, 1905, up to Feb
ruary %, 1909. i have thought ita well
to make these financial statements in
clude all receipts and expenditures for
the whole above mentioned period as
the last report made by the Board of
immigration, dated January 81, 1907,
covered only small part of the re-
ceipts and expenditures, only one
steamer load of European immigrants
having arrived at that time by the
Suveric, although considerable
amount of money had then been col
lected and paid in connection with the
recruiting of laborers for the steamers
that arrived later.

 p. 0.LOCAT|ON

It is thought probable that the visit of Post office Inspector, ]. B.. Miller of Little Rock and Vim
 Harper of Cleveland, Ohio, who are in Conway today, will settle the location of the local postofice, a matter which has been the sub ject of much discussion in this city during the past few months. Al. ready two inspections of proposed sites for the office have been made and two contracts have been awarded, but in both cases protests by the Board of Trade and citizens have resulted in the con tracts beng withheld. The three propositions now before the de- partment are for the present loca- ton, by J. Frank Jones; for a new building on East Oak Street, by II. B. Ingram, and new building on the west side of the public square, by (. w. Cox. Inspector Miller, of course would not state what his recommendations to the department in the matter will be.
