not altogether tell the story Of the utility
OF collection district and Of a customs
collector to the government. For instance
they say it costs si.ss to collect q ia Gus
toms at the Frenchman's Bay district
ta.24 to collect II in the Castine district and
s2.g7 to collect q in the Waldoboro district.
The figures vary from year to year ac-
cording to variations in the amount Of inn
ports, the number OF vessels that enter
and clear and all that sort OF thing.
Some think there will be no little OPP
position in the democratic House to the
proposed change, because 1t affects nu-
merous collection districts in the South.
But the southern democrats may not be
very earnest in their opposition for the
reason that the places are now held by
rcpu blicans.
