BOND REGULATIONS
FINALLY REVISED
Importers Will Save Thousands
of Dollars in Getting Goods
Through Custom House

Opposition to the proposed regula-
tions regarding the furnishing of bonds
by importers on the part of Collector
OF Customs Stratton has resulted In the
department at Washington revising the
new regulations in such a way that the
importers all over the country will be
saved thousands of dollars each year
Proofs of the new regulations were
sent to Stratton for suggestions. The
regulations as sent from Washington
would have forced all importers to pro-
cure corporate sureties on the many
bonds they are required to give at the
custom house In connection with their
importations.
The surety companies were greatly
pleased at the regulations originally
sent from Washington and it is a sad
olow TO them now that the arguments
of Stratton carried and the regulations
have been changed. The surety COM
panies would have secured the business
of bonding the importers, for had the
original regulations been adopted It
would have been impracticable for the
brokers to secure individual sureties
In anticipation of the adoption of the
original rules the surety companies
sent circulars to the different brokers
all over the country and their agents
were instructed to make efforts to OBJ
tain contracts with the importers, as
the business of signing custom house
bonds would prove very remunerative
to the companies.
Many other changes asked for by
Stratton were also made by the depart
ment in Washington. The suggestions
offered by the local collector were in
the interests of the importers. Col
lector Stratton felt that it was better
for the government to assist the i'm
porters in every way possible in order
that goods might be entered into the
country as soon as possible without the
delay which would result had the orig
inal regulations been put into effect.
