MEASURED UNDER THE LAW.

Deputy Collector Ayars Busy These Days
with Tape Line and PencII-An Ad-
vantage to Vessel Owners.
Deputy Collector OF Customs Peter B.
Ayars was at Little Creek and Malone 8
ditcn yesterday admessurlng several small
craft under the new United States law,
which allows q deduction from the ton.
mage Of all vessels for additional crew
space.
Tue frst vessel measured under the
new Law was the steamer Howard, Of the
Merchants aud Manufacturers line,
which was done May "a the advantages
accruing to vessel owners through this
Law are very important. The
charges for dockage, towing, ETC., and
all taxes and fees are based on
the tonnage SO 10 will oe seen that q
reduction Of the tonnage means a saving
TO the owners AS an instance: The
Fairfax and Howard are sister ships, and
both are alike so FAR as the gross tonnage
is concsrned Tue net tonnage of the
former is .957 81 while that Of theHoward
is 1, 757 16 or 4 deduction Of some 200
tons, which Is quite An important Item.
Captain Ayars goes to Philadelphia Ia q
day or two TO admeasure a vessel there,
and will probably have q score or more
to go over later 10 the month.
