last month on the charge o~f-~taking

CARSON MAY
REFUSE JOB
Undecided as TO Duties Of
Immigrant Inspector.

Collector Robert Carson, ~of this
port, who was recently named as I'm
migrant inspector to succeed DR.. G
w. Naulty, Jr., has not as yet taken
the oath OF office to serve in his new
position. To do this he must appear
before the authorities at Ellis ISL
and. Up to this time he is undecid-
ed as to whether or not it Is advis-
able to accept the position.
To do the work as DIR. Naulty has
done it for the past year is almost
out of question. as Mr.. Carson's 9th
er duties would not permit him to
board every vessel that enters and
clears. He declares, however, he
could do the work as it was done
prior to DR.. Naulty's appointment.
Men in the custom house service
then kept tab on persons aboard
vessels, SO that when a ship left port
its crew and passengers were looked
over to see that the same people
were aboard as when the vessel
came i'll.
Then, too, Mr.. Carson considers
the expiration of his term as collec-
tor a barrier to acceptance of the
new position. He expresses himself
as feeling rather uncertain about his
reappointment as collector of the
port of Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Carson states he will go to En-
lis Island In q few days to discuss
the subject with immigration au-
thorities and If he is favorably i'm
pressed at the outcome he may as
sumo the duties of immigrant In
spector in connection with those of
collector.
