RENEWAL OF VESSEL PAPERS.
Ruling Made by the Commissioner
of NAVIGATION.

A ruling of more than ordinary inter
est to vessel masters and owners has
recently been made by Commissioner of
Navigation Chamberlain, regarding the
renewal Of vessel papers at ports other
than the home port of the vessel. Under
the former understanding of the regula-
ton a vessel whose license expired while
she was away from her home port could
have them renewed by the collector of
customs at another port. but as soon as
she reached her home port she was oblig-
ed to exchange 1t for papers issued by
the collector there.
Under the instructions recently sent
out from the bureau of navigation to col
lectors Of customs throughout the coun-
try this will not be necessary. and a
vessel can obtain her renewal papers at
the port IN which she may be when they
expire. This mears that If a vessel own
ed here or at Alexandria shou be IN
New York. Norfolk or any other port
when her license expired. the custom
house there would renew her license and
this would be good for a year without
report to the custom house at the port
from which she halls
New vessels obtaining license at port
other than their home port must sur
render it 4 their arrival at their home
port and -. their papers from the coilec-
tor of customs there.
