ii grossly irregular that nearly all of
the goods entered free of duty for
the Cable Co. have been otherwise
disposed of by Messrs. Il. o. Hall

ioying like privileges (the Maui
Telephone Coz, but they cannot
sustain the charge Of fraud on the
revenues Of this country, as both
companies are entitled to import
their apparatus and outfits free Of
duty. The report concludes thus:
1.-The manner in which this business
has been conducted and the DISPOSE
ton of the goods could, If the par
ties doing the business wished, have
been the mean of gross frauds on
the revenue, which shows the neces.
sity of the strictest control on the
part of the Government over the
disposition of all goods which are
to be admitted free of duty to en-
courage certain enterprises. In
course of our Investigations other
transactions of Messrs. T.. o. Hall
& Son in the entry and disposition
of telephone goods came to our
knowledge, which we think are
similarly irregular, and we recon-
mend that immediate action be
taken by the Government TO prevent
any further repetition"
