Of INTEREST To
LOCAL IMPORTERS

On the question Of the examination
of goods prior to entry at the custom
house, the following letter from the
Treasury Department is of Importance:
Treasury Department, Dec. I, 1907.
Sir: The department duly received
your letter of the 14th uItimo. in which
You suggest that the decision of the
Board of General Appraisers, dated
November IS last Ct, D. 2S495l be not
acquiesced in by the department
In the case in question 1t appears
that the importer was without knowl-
edge as to the exact contents and
value Of the package; that he request
ed permission to open the same to see
if there was not an invoice contained
in ii TO guide him in making entry:
that this request was refused; where
upon the importer made entry. Civ
ing as nearly as he could remember.
the price he had paid for similar ar
ticles at other times; that upon open
ing the package an invoice was found
and also two dozen linen handkerchfefs
not included in the entry: that the in
voice showed much higher value than
LAiSNb oNshACN All TIC eHNGS. ana the ElGT~
chandise was accordingly advanced to
the value stated in the invoice: and
that in consequence Of the advance the
appropriate additional duties provided
in Section 30 of the act of July "a, 1897,
We're assessed.
The board states that its attention
has not been called to any provision
of law or regulation which forbids the
examination of a package containing
imported merchandise before entry
therefor is made; that therefore the
importer should have been permitted
to examine the package before making
the entry; and that in the judgment
of the board the offer of the importer
to enter the merchandise at whatever
might be the invoice value thereof. if
permitted to open the package and see
the invoice, was tantamount to an en-
try at that value.
The department does not acquiesce
in the views expressed by the board in
this case, but nevertheless an appeal
will not be taken.
Under authority of Section PSI of the
Revised Statutes. the following regula-
ton on the subject is hereby promuI-
gated:
Hereafter customs officers viii not
permit the opening. examination. or
inspection of any package containing
imported merchandise until proper en-
try therefor has been made

FLOATING DRYDoCK ON COAST.
When Charles schwab, head of the
Union Iron Works, stated during his
address in san Francisco some months
ago that ne intended to make the
works one of the finest in the United
States, he had in mind a number Of
big improvements for the Potrero
plant
The first of these plans is to be put
into effect within the next few months
when a contract is to be let for a
large floating drydock. the first Of its
kind on the Pacific Coast. This dry
dock will De large enough to easily ae-
eommodate vessels Of all dimensions,
with the possible exception of the Pa
cifie Mail liners Mongolia and Man
churia, the two largest ships which
come into the port.
For the past two years the Union
Iron Works has felt the growing need
for a dock of this type and business
has been hampered to a considerable
~ tow i
docking facilities.
At the time of the earthquake of
April, 1895. the drydock at the Potrero
shipbuilding plant was entirely de-
stroyed and since this time vessels
needing an overhaullng, following re-
pairs at the Union Iron Works, had to
be placed on the Hunters Point dry
dock. Due to this fact much time was
lost in the putting in shape Of ocean
going vessels and officials at the Union
Iron Works determined that dry
dock must be one Of the first improve
ments al the plant.
Thus far the plan has been kept
secret and inquiry at the works failed
TO bring forth the desired information
on the subject Although admitting
lHal uoCA o. the type aueduy mem
toned was TO be constructed the Of
fcials of the plant announced that no
definite steps had been taken as yet,
though plans were under consideration.
1t is known definitely, however, that
a floating drydoek has been planned
for some time past at the works and
that the near future will find a large
force of workmen engaged in the con-
struction work of such a docl&
