TWO IMPORTANT CUSTOMS DECISIONS.
NOTTINGHAM LACE CASE AT LAST DISPOSED Oh
DUTIES ON CRUDE TARTAR.

NOTTINGHAM LACE CASE AT LAST DISPOSED Of
DUTIES ON CRUDE TARTAR.
The Board of Classification Of the United States
General Appraisers yesterday announced deci-
sion in what is widely known to the wholesale dry
goods trade as the Nottingham goods case" The
merchandise consists strictly speaking, Of lace
window curtains made Nottingham machines
or on Nottingham warp machines, and then after
ward a fine cord is sewed onto the lace, giving
the effect Of embroidery. Paragraph $40 Of the
Dingley tariff act provides that lace curtains made
on the Nottingham machines, or on Nottingham
warp machines, shall be assessed for duty accord
ing to the number OF points spaces TO the inch,
the material being cotton or other vegetable fibre
The minimum duty under that paragraph was TO
be 80 per cent ad valorem. The Collector Of Gus
toms at Philadelphia however. assessed the goods
for duty at SO pr cent ad valorem, under Para
graph SS9 as Iace window curtains composed wholly
or in chief value of fax cotton. other vegetable
fibre, and not elsewhere provided for. The i'm
porter, J ". Smith, protested, alleging that the
goods should be classified under Paragraph $40.
great deal of testimony taken, and the
Board decides that the cord referred to was
sewed by another machine the goods could
be described being made Nottingham
WTfes the opinion Of the B6aTd states that the
work done on the cording machine represents an
completed article The mere fact Of putting the
ne and 1hing Mr. Fischer says would not mat
ter. for that Is merely Incidental to the main
cording machinery however is too essential to be
regarded in the same light The Board therefore
holds that Congress could not have meant to in
clude such goods under the descriptive term made
on Nottingham machines" The protest is therefore
overruled and the assessment Of duty Is affirmed.
Another decision announced yesterday was a
protest made by the Tartar Chemical Company
against the decision of the Collector d this port
assessing the regular duty Of and one-half
cents pound on crude tartar imported from Mar
settles. The importers assert that the goods should
come in at a lower rate. as provided IN the reci-
procity agreement with France. This was conceded
as a portion Of the goods. but another
portion, which came from Algeria by way OF Mar
settles. the Board holds differently. In this case
protests overruled.

ABOUT SIDEWALKS.
All New Sidewalks must Be Either Cement
or Vitrifed Brick.

Section II, of city ordinances, com
piled March 26, 1900 reads: every
sidewalk that shall hereafter be made
constructed or repaired shall be in ac-
cordance with the resolution of the city
council, directing and authorizing the
construction or repairing thereof" At
the close of the last administration a re-
solution was adopted by the council pro-
viding that henceforth all sidewalks laid
in Santa Fee shall be of vitriied brick or
cement. DR.. j. M. Diaz, had ordered of
c. w. Dudrow lumber to build a new
sidewalk on Gaspar avenue leading to
the capitol, but the city authorities call
ed his attention to the resolution above
referred to. Mr.. Dudrow said he would
gladly take the lumber back, as he
thought it was high time the capital city
was moving in the way of brick or ce-
ment sidewalks, so DR.. Diaz now in
tends to use a vitrilied brick for his i'm.
proyement. If other property owners
would follow his example, it is likely
that brick walks will be laid all the way to
the capitol, and thus would be provided
a brick pavement practically from the
plaza to the capitol. 1t would prove a
much needed and appreciated improve
ment.
