Licensing Vessels at Home Ports.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has witten letter
to the special agent at Norfolk, Va, concerning the
practice at the port Of EdentOn, N. c., when 1t is
inconvenient for the managing owner to attend at
the Custom House, OF issuing marine papers to ves-
sells belonging to the district, alter first re-
quiring the usual bonds and oaths Of the mas
ter, with the additional oath OF the master
as given In article 49, part first, ofthe revised regu
latiOns; also as to the practice at Norfolk Va, Of
allowing any person in the place OF the master,
as for instance the mate. to take out vessels pa
pers, the managing owner having given him power
Of attorney to sign his name, &c. The Secretary
states that article 70 was intended to apply only
10 vessels in other than the home district, and
when the documents are to be exchanged for those
OF another character. The practice at Eden
ton is unauthorized and wholly wrong. In
the case Of the issue to vessel at her home port
OF register and enrolment and license, or H.
cense alone, to vessel under twenty tons bur-
den, 1t is necessary, without exception, that the
owner should be present to sign the bona and take
the oath before the Collector. Concerning the
practice at Norfolk the Secretary declares that it
ts wrong, except where license is granted to a
vessel already enrolled and no oath is
required from the managing owner. The
department does not object to the execu-
tion OF the bond before the Collector or other
proper officer OF the customs, by an agent acting
under power of attorney, to be filed with the
be spared the principal and that the bond is SUI.
Aciently broad in its terms. The oath, however,
should be taken and the bond executed before the
Collector In all cases, except those in which 1t
would be extremely burdensome practically i'm
possible to comply with the rule, and where non-
compliance Herewith has in each instance received
the sanction OF the department.
