Once Big Importing Place Now a
Foreign Vessel Rarity.

Once n Big Importing Place Now a
Foreign Vessel Rarity.
Captain Charles ID. Eddy, collector OF
customs, has among his catalogue of books
an account of the import duties paid into
the Custom House in Bristol on one
day in ,Say, 1898. The ship France, Cap
tain Joseph Boyer, from Canton, China,
with cargo of silks and teas, paid i'm
port duties into the Custom House on her
cargo S67 900, there being upon the same
day two other arrivals from Cronstadt,
Russia, whose duties exceeded $4,000
each. This book contain the list
OF vessels owned In town and
sailing to all parts of the world
there being about thirty. Their arrivals
were almost weekly from some part of the
worl and very frequently foreign ship
signed to the captain to be sold, the cargo
being placed in bond and duties paid
in when any part OF the cargo was
sold. This book is well preserved
and the penmanship is remarkable.
The mode of invoicing;a cargo of goods
and the uniformity of the writing and the
figures, is truly wonderful. Upon one
day i'm June, 1900, five vessels sailed with
export. cargoes to foreign ports, and
three arrived with imported goods,
showing the contrast between century
ago and the present time. Then our
waters were dotted with vessels from all
parts OF the world and many were owned
here, and today not q vessel Is wholly
owned here and but one partially owned,
and the clearances, Bristol being the entry
of two ports, not averaging more than one
or two year.

A petition, backed by about two hun

very pleasantly located, there has been
considerable trouble experienced in hold
ing the regular meetings. Not
withstanding the fact that McGregor
Post No. II. e.. A. X. has
been very courteous in extending to them
the use of their hall, a portion of the
membership has become dissatisfied with
the present arrangement and there is
movement on foot for the removal of the
Lodge from Phenix TO Flanagan's Hall,
Riverside. The question will probably
come before meeting of the lodge this
evening.
The work of laying the rails for the new
electric street railway is being pushed
rapidly. The workmen have reached the
village of Lippitt and the prospect is good
for the running of cars over the new road
IN tho early summer.

The Bill to Repeal Present License
Commissioner Act.

The bill which passed the House OF
Representatives yesterday repeating the
act by which boards Of license commits
sioners were elected in the four cities of the
State for terms Of five years each by City
Councils In convention, and reviving the
three commissioners for alternate terms
Of one, two and three years was vested In
the Mayor with the proviso that persons
who have held the Office shall be
ineligible to reappointment, Will be COM
muicated to the Senate tomorrow where
II Is destined, II is understood, from reli-
able sources to defeat. The animus
of the bill Is confined to the restric-
tion upon the appointing power
of the Mayor, and Il is limited that
certain members of the present board
who were members of previous COM
missions, ,Ihave shown an arbitrary and
aggressive spirit in the revocation OF
and railroaded the passage OF
the bill are prominent among
the revolutionists in the House,
and they took advantage OF the absence
of the minority leader and many OF his
colleagues, to force action on the meas
ure. IL is thought in some quarters
that the object sought to be gained in the
introduction OF the bill was in the nature
of a warning of decapitation unless
the commission reconsidered its re-
vocation OF certain licenses in
which influential liquor dealers were
pecuniariiy interested. The board has
conducted a vigorous investigation of the
premises of the saloon-keepers in CO.
operation with the police authorities and
il is natural that they should be the OBJ
jects of condemnation. There Is no refiec-
tion upon the honesty and sincerity of their
administration, and the Senate is not in
clined to repeal the law in the absence Of
sufficient evidence that its operation has
been unsatisfactory and ineffective.
