Assistant Secretary Howell has issued a
circular to collectors OF customs along
the Canadian border with reference to the
reciprocal free entry OF American and Ca
madam bicycles into the United States
and Canada accompanied by their riders.
Several months ago the department de-
cided to permit tourists from Canada to
bring bicycles into the United States with
the understanding that they should be
returned within three days. but In the
meantime the Canadian government has
made a much more liberal ruling, granting
an indefinite time for the expectation OF
the bicycle. Mr.. Howell has decided that
in view of this action by the Canadian
government the treasury department may
with safety to the revenue adopt a similar
ruling regarding bicycles In use by tran
silent visitors from Canada coming across
the frontier, and the following regula-
tons will accordingly be observed by all
concerned:
ANY tourist who Is a bona 1de mem
Der Of the Canadian Wheelmen's associa-
ton. and who comes into the United
States over the Canadian border with a
bicycle in use. and not new. may be al
