BILL CREATING 1T PORT OF EN-

This Action Taken on Recommends
tion of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury spauIding-Carrier sys-
tenn in Seattle and Tacoma.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE senate
committee on commerce has pigeon-holed
the Dill TO declare the city of Everett a
port of entry In the Puget Sound customs
collection district. The reason for this
action Is apparent upon reading a let
Ter written by o. l.. Spauldng, assistant
secretary OF the treasury, and addressed
TO the Hon. W. p. Frye. chairman of the
senate committee on commerce In this
letter Assistant Secretary Spauding
says:
In reply l have to state that It is not
advisable to have more than one port
or entry for each customs collection dis
trict Everett Is now sub port of en-
try in the customs collection district
OF Puget Sound, having been so desig-
mated by the secretary of the treasury
under the authority contained in al act
approved August %, 1890 and with The
exception OF the privileges conferred by
the act approved June 10, 1880, all neces-
sary facilities are available at said rort.
NO objection is perceived TO the extei-
sion of the privileges of the act of June
TO- 1880. TO Everett, and I therefore rec
ommend that the proposed legislation be
amended so as TO read as follows:
BE it enacted etc, THAT the privi-
leges Of the act approved June TO- 1880,
governing the immediate transportation
OF dutiable merchandise without APP
praisement be. and the same are hereby
extended to Everett, sub port of entry
in the customs collection district of Iu-
get Sound"
Acting upon this suggestion n, com
mittee reported through Senator Turner,
one of its members. a simple bill in word
ing prepared BY the assistant secretary.
This measure will be pushed AZ this ses-
sion and the chances seem favorable
