DELAY ABOLISHING
OF NEWARK PORT
Senate Committee to Report
Bill Extending Time I'M
til January |, 1914.
MEASURE DRAFTED AT
REQUEST OF M'ADOO
Does Not Believe Local Pride"
Reason for Delaying Re-
apportionment.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Acting
UPON recommendation of Secretary
McAdoo. the Senate commerce COM
mittee today voted to report favor
ably a bill to defer until January ],
1914. the proposed reorganization of
the customs service. which, by re-
ducing the number of districts and
collectors from 1856 to 40. would affect
every customs port in the country
Secretary McAdoo declared that
while the plan, approved by former
President Taft. was an Improvement
upon the present distribution of Gus
toms districts. there were objections
which might be overcome If it's opera
tion were delayed Mr.. McAdoo said
he did not believe local pride" was a
valid or serious reason for delaying
the eapportionment He recon-
mended that the plan be amended to
require an annual saving of $500, 900.
The customs reorganization plans
referred to by Secretary McAdoo is
the executive order issued by former
President Taft on March 4. of this
year, making many decided changes
in the customs ports and collector
ships.
BY the terms of the order Newark
was made a subsidiary port under
the control of the New York port of
entry, and the office of collector of
customs now held by Alfred N.
Dalrymple was abolished. The order
was issued to take effect on July l,
this year, the beginning of the fiscal
customs year.
1t is thought that the recommended
tion of Secretary McAdoo was in
f1uenced greatly by the briefs sub
mitted to him by the customs com
mittee of the local Board of Trade
last week showing why Newark
should be retained as an independent
port.
