of a long list of goods; forbidding of all
expectation of other goods as soon as the
actual surplus available for export is ex-
cecded: the threat of Doctor Treub, Min

all parties of Hollands being in earnest.

FREE PORT' WOULD
MAKE NEW YORK
FREE TRADE CITY
Proposed Plan Would Make
Metropolis a Magni6ed
Bonded Warehouse - In
creased Cost of Collection.
ErRoM 4 srArr connEsroNnENr.1 ]

WASHINGTON, Sept 90. - New York
would become virtually a free trade city
should the campaign being conducted by
the Merchants Association of that city
for free port" result in the necessary
legislation being enacted by Congress, ac-
cording to the explanation given tonight
by T.. NJ. Halstcad chief OF the Customs
Division of the Treasury Department.
Mr. Halstead was asked by the PUBLIC
LEDGER to comment on the memorandum
sent to President Wilson by Frederick c.
Howe, Commissioner of Immigration in
New York, supporting the campaign for
the establishment of several free ports"
in the United States, where cargoes can
be landed and reshipped without payment
of duty. Although his attention has not
been called to the Howe memorandum,
Mr.. Halstead said special legislation
would, of course, be required to create
free ports" in this country.
"UndeS our present customs system
cargoes can be brought into port and re-
shipped without payment of duty" Mr..
Halstead explained 'These goods are
placed in bonded warehouses, and the
New York plan might be referred to as
would necessitate the placing of the Gus
toms houses on the outskirts OF the free
port, and all imported goods going out
of this zone would be subject to the reg
ular import duties. Imports remaining
within the zone of the free port would
not be subject to tariff duties.
Hamburg is a free port and has been
for years before the establishment of
the German empire The agitation has
been going on in New York for two or
three years. but do not believe that it
has ever been suggested that the entire
city be designated as a free port. Just
what section of the city is included in
the present plan do not know. At one
time. l believe, the scheme was TO make
Ellis Island a free port. and then Staten
Island was suggested"
officials OF the Treasury DEPARTING mt
assert that the establishment OF one or
more free ports" in the United States
would serve greatly TO increase the cost
OF collecting the customs revenues. 1t is
not believed here that the Merchants
Association is advocating that Manhat-
tan be made free port" but that the
plan is confined to Staten Island or Ellis
Island with the view of reshipping the
cargoes landed In the free port" to
Latin-American markets.

NEW YORK LIBRARY SENDS
OUT MILLIONS OF BOOKS
Last Year 10000 Were Rented to
Fire Department Alone.

A great many persons think only of New
York's Public Library as q huge build
ing of imposing architecture at the COR
ner of Fifth avenue and 42d street, which
contains 100000 books, pamphlets. docu-
ments, etc. They never stop to think
that this building is only the hub of the
system of public libraries which covers
every section of that city. the centre of
an exceedingly complex and diverse range
Of activities, all calculated to spread the
benefits of literature and self-education
in the city's hundreds Of thousands OF
homes. To give one an idea of the
lihrary's work it Is only Unnecessary to
say that it publishes its own monthly
magazine
One of the most interesting features Is
in distributing the so-called travelling
libraries" Some persons think that a.
travelling library is a collection of travel
books, and some very odd requests reach
the travelling libraries office.
The biggest of the travelling libraries Is
installed in the Columbia University Lii
brary building. 1t includes 5000 books,
supplemented by daily additions of special
books, representing almost every subject
imaginable. Two Community Stations"
practically branch libraries where no per-
manent branCh mas Deen erected, ana
where the need for one is felt, have been
stationed on Staten Island Cases of
books are sent to police stations and fire
stations.
In the Fire Department SO engine COM
panies and 80 hook and ladder companies
are now supplied with books, the libraries
consisting of about % titles each, ranging
from works on mechanical engineering
and fire lighting to novels by Dumas and
modern best sellers. Last year nearly
10000 volumes were issued to the Fire
Departments men.
Other institutions which receive travel
ing libraries are the Longshoremen's Rest,
the Sea View Hospital, the New York
Reformatory and, of course, all the public
grammar schools and high schools. Fac
tories have also received travelling libra
ries. In fact quite long list of factories
patronize this department of the city's
public library
Almost any one can receive one of these
travelling libraries. 1t Is not generally
known that any family living at dis
tance from branch library may apply

Hair is like a plant--it will not grow
