NO BOARDING OFFICERS

gust, L. il was learned yesterday at the
Custom House.
Hitherto all ships. before coming TO
their piers, have been required 10 wait
until the boarding officer boarded them
from a revenue cutter and gave them
a temporary entrance permit. without
which they had no right To unload pas
scngcrs or cargo.
After August all cargo ships will
proceed directly TO their berths where
inspectors assigned TO the ten inspec-
tion districts Will board them.
Passenger ships will be met down
the bay by Il revenue cutter carrying
them solely TO examine passengers
declarations before reaching the piers.
This method is expected by tho Col
lcctor's Committee to do away with the
disadvantage Of holding big liners
down tho bay until the boarding officer
has finished his examination Of some
small cargo steamer.
Incidentally the new plan marks the
cessation of the boarding activities of
Jim" Little, veteran boarding officer
OF the customs service. who entered
the Federal service in 1876 and became
a boarding officer June ., 1891.
