SHIPPING DECISION.
Refrigerator Plant Not a Part of a
Ships Equipment.

NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Judge Somer-
vile. in an opinion handed down for
the board Of classification of the United
States general appraisers, says that It
is more than doubtful whether a re-
frigerating plant could be considered
a tart a ships equipment. especially
as It was not a part Of the property Of
the owners of the vessel nor was it
leased by the owners.
The Swift Beef Company. limited. en-
tered into a contract with the Atlantic
Transport line for the right to occupy
certain space on the steamer Marquette.
While the vessel was at London. the
Swift Company started to install a re-
frfgerating plant, but the vessel had
to sail before the work was completed.
The first Of the materials for the
plant was sent over on the Campania
arriving at this port before the Mar
Quette. The collector assessed the reg
ular duties on the materials imported
on the Campania. and the importing
company filed a protest. claiming that
the merchandise should come in free as
part of the vessels equipment. The
protest was overruled.
