RECEIPTS NEAR
HALF MILLION
Custom House. Report for
Year Ending Yesterday Will
Show Record amount.
TOTAL Is S492,56785
lncreass in Collections 0vsr
Previous Year is S146,504.-
93--Port's Progress.

Total collections at the custom
house during the past fiscal year
reached nearly a half million dollars,
according to the figures furnished by
Deputy Collector George w. Eggert
this morning, or an increase over the
receipts of last year amounting to
$146, ,504.93.
The total collections for the year
ending yesterday were $492, $685.,
compared with a total last year
amounting to $346,062.92. This port
has made such rapid strides in the
shipping world during the past few
years that the receipts for the year
ending June 80, 1909, do not in the
least compare with the collections
made during the past fiscal year.
The amount collected in 1909 was
only $170,19S.66, or little more
than one-third of the receipts of
1911. The increase in two years
amounts to 1922, ,369.19.
Perth Amboy's shipping facilities
have placed it among the foremost
ports in the Atlantic coast division.
Only the very large cities, such as
New York and Philadelphia, can
boast of larger income and collec-
tions than this city. With the COM
pletion of the oil refining plant at
the Barber Asphalt plant it is be-
lieved by custom house officials that
Perth Amboy will continue to forge
ahead and in time become one of the
leading, If not the leading, ports in
the country.
There are a number Of other fac
tories about to locate here or already
planning for additional manufacture
ing facilities and with the consumma-
:. Of these plans Perth Amboy will
continue to have increase after in
crease in the annual reports from the
federal building.
