HANDBOOK OF THE PORT OF BOSTON 1913 PRICE, FIFTY CENTS BY MAIL, SIXTY CENTS Published under the Auspices of The Committee on Foreign Trade of the Boston Chamber of Commerce «%W The information in this book was collected by the Secretary of the Chamber's Committee on Foreign Trade H. L. Dillingham Assisted by the Secretary of the Retail Trade Board of the Chamber P. C. CUMMINGS Advertising solicited by A. L. DeNoyer Copyright, 1913 By Boston Chamber of Commerce r PREFACE. The prospect of the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915, the realiza- tion of New England business men that wt must find new markets for our manufactured goods, the far-reaching plans for the development of our harbor — these and many other factors would seem to indicate a considerable increase in the shipping and receiving of goods through the port of Boston during the next ten years. The reason for this book is the belief of the Directors and the Committee on Foreign Trade of the Boston Chamber of Commerce that a compilation of useful information concerning shipping facilities, customs regulations, tables of foreign moneys, weights and measures, etc., will prove to be of real assistance to the business men of New England who already ship goods through this port or who are considering the making of such shipments. This book has been prepared under the direction of the Chamber's Com- mittee on Foreign Trade. Some of the material has been collected for the first time. Some omissions and some errors have undoubtedly been made. If, however, there is the real demand for a publication of this kind — and the preliminary canvass seemed to indicate that there is — a revised edition will be issued for 1914. Any errors which are brought to our attention will be corrected in that edition, and such other information will be added as more mature consideration may seem to warrant. The Committee is indebted to many persons for their assistance in com- piling this information. Particularly do they wish to acknowledge the co- operation of officials of the United States Treasury Department, the Boston Customs officials, the Directors of the Port, the railroad and steamship companies, the various steamship agencies, members of the Committee on Maritime Affairs, and the business men of the city who subscribed for adver- tising space and thereby made it financially possible to go ahead with the book. Corrections and suggestions sent to the office of the Secretary will be gratefully received. James A. McKibben, Secretary Boston Chamber of Commerce.

From information furnished by Peobody A Stearns, Architects. In 1907 the Mini of $500,000 was appropriated for the purchase of a site for a Custom House in Boston. Later the design was determined upon and the appropriation was increased to $1,800,000 for the building including the expense of removal. Temporary quarters were then leased costing aoout 197,000 par annum. On July 10, 1912, the appropriation was changed so as to make it possible to spend the whole appropriation, $1,800,000, for a build- ing on the old rite. Contracts were signed by the Treasury Department with Noreross Bros. Co. on May 20, 1910, for building the foundations and on August 9, 1912, with Noreross Bros. Co. for building the entire super- structure. The architects are Peabody & Stearns, and they have had Purdy & Henderson, of New York, and Mr. J. R. Worcester, of Boston, as advisors regarding engineering questions. The foundations of the tower have been completed. The construction was difficult, it being necessary to sink concrete piers through soft clay to a depth of one hundred feet below the surface. At this point a firm foundation was found on hard pan and boulders. The lower section of the steel work for the tower is in place and some of the granite in the basement rotunda has been finished. The sub-contracts for steel and granite and for many other details have been let, and as soon as the steel is delivered (probably in June) the work will proceed with rapidity. The building as designed preserves the exterior of the old building. This will form a spreading base to the tower which will rise to a height of 505 feet above the pavement and take the place of the dome which once covered the central part of the building. The whole design is simple and in accord with the old Doric base. The upper and more ornamented portion will contain immense clock faces and galleries, from which visitors will command views of the whole establishment. In the interior the main entrance rotunda will be richly finished in marble, and will make the handsome centre of the life of the building. The various office stories give an area about equal to those of the several stories of the Fiske Building in State Street, and it is considered that rapid elevator service will make intercommunication between them easier and quicker than would be possible in a low building like the New York Custom House where long distances must be traveled on foot. The building as designed contains ample accommodations for the various Custom House departments and for storage and filling and other accessory necessities. Some departments are accommodated amply on a single floor — others occupy two floors, the upper one of the two being substantially a gallery 19 11 1 1 I ••■*■ fl ■ *MMMf J ,^h |||hH^ VIPHBI H " ** *■****«.«» »j^B 1 inni i n ti f j 11 ■ s i ii i 1 ■ 1 huh ■ iinfi ^H ■ » 'i it ii if (i 1 1 ! i t 1 11 1 if If !| I 1 1 II 11 )| 1 II I p I 11 II II !

The space is assigned to the departments as follows: Basement: Service, Upper Part of Boiler Room, Marine Hospital Service. First Story: Auditor and Collector. Second Story : Auditor and Collector. Fourth, Fifth : Marine Division. Sixth, Seventh: Surveyor's Division. W„ Eighth: Steamer Clerks' Division. Ninth : Bond Division . Tenth, Eleventh: Naval Office. Thirteenth } Inward Forei « n Division mES* | Warehouse Division IvenTelnth | Drawback Division Eighteenth : Records. Above the eighteenth story space is unassigned. A comparison between the capacity of the new and old buildings shows that the old building by utilizing corridors, rotunda, office and other avail- able space for office purposes was accommodated in space as follows : Square feet Basement 7542 First story ......... 4514 Second story 6962 Third story 1197 20,215 In the new building there is available space (exclusive of stairways, cor- ridors and rotundas, etc.), as follows: Service Offices Toilets Total and S Below fourth story . . 700 Fourth to eighteenth inclusive, typical stories Nineteenth to twenty-seventh 700 53,012 2288 56,000 A total of 56,000 square feet against 20,215 or about 2 77/100 times as much space as in the old building. If the wells in the gallery stories were floored over there would be a gain in floor space of about 2800 square feet. That would make a total of 57,800 square feet or 2 91/100 times as much floor space actually and properly available as offices, storage and toilets in the new building, as was actually used in the old building by encroaching on corridors and rotundas. 21 Storage 9,600 33,864 9,548 Square feet 1034 11,334 1254 35,118 9,548 DIRECTORY OF DIVISIONS AND DEPARTMENTS AT THE TEMPORARY CUSTOMS HOUSE.

An Act of Congress, approved March 2, 1911, provides that it shall be lawful for Collectors of Customs to receive on and after June 1, 1911, for duties on imports certified checks drawn on national and State banks and trust companies during such time and under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe.

HOW TO BECOME A CUSTOMS HOUSE BROKER. (Public— No. 205, S. 6173.) An Act to License Customs house Brokers. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the collector or chief officer of the cus- toms at any port of entry or delivery shall, upon application, issue to any per- son of good moral character, being a citizen of the United States, a license to transact business as a customs house broker in the collection district in which such license is issued, and on and after sixty days from the approval of this Act no person shall transact business as a customs house broker without a license granted in accordance with this provision; but this Act shall not be so con- strued as to prohibit any person from transacting business at a customs house pertaining to his own importations. Sec. 2. That the collector or chief officer of the customs may at any time, for good and sufficient reasons, serve notice in writing upon any customs house broker so licensed to show cause why said license shall not be revoked, which notice shall be in the form of a statement specifically setting forth the grounds of complaint. The collector or chief officer of customs shall within ten days thereafter notify the customs house broker in writing of a hearing to be held before him within five days upon said charges. At such hearing the customs house broker may be represented by counsel, and all proceedings, including the proof of the charges and the answer thereto, shall be presented, with right of cross-examination to both parties, and a stenographic record of the same shall be made and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the customs house broker. At the conclusion of such hearing the collector or chief officer of customs shall forthwith transmit all papers and the stenographic report of the hearing, which shall constitute the record in the case, to the Secretary of the Treasury for his action. Thereupon the said Secretary of the Treasury shall have the right to revoke the license of any customs house broker, in which case formal notice shall be given such customs house broker within ten days. Sec. 3. That any licensed customs house broker aggrieved by the deci- sion of the Secretary of the Treasury may, within thirty days thereafter, and not afterwards, apply to the United States circuit court for the circuit in which the collection district is situated for a review of such decision. Such applica- tion shall be made by filing in the office of the clerk of said court a petition praying relief in the premises. Thereupon the court shall immediately give notice in writing of such application to the Secretary of the Treasury, who shall forthwith transmit to said court the record and evidence taken in the case, together with a statement of his decision therein. The filing of such applica- tion shall operate as a stay of the revocation of the license. The matter may be brought on to be heard before the said court in the same manner as a mo- tion, by either the United States district attorney or the attorney for the customs house broker, and the decision of said United States circuit court for the circuit in which the collection district is situated shall be upon the merits as disclosed by the record and be final, and the proceedings be remanded to the Secretary of the Treasury for further action to be taken in accordance with the terms of the decree. Sec. 4. That the Secretary of the Treasury shall prescribe regulations necessary or convenient for carrying this Act into effect. Sec. 5. That the word person wherever used in this Act shall include persons, co-partnerships, associations, joint stock associations, and corpora- tions. Approved June 10, 1910. REGULATIONS. 1. The term "customs house broker" shall be taken to include all per- sons, firms, co-partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint-stock asso- ciations transacting customs business at a customs house in behalf of other persons generally. 2. Any person who is a citizen of the United States may be licensed as a customs broker upon application to the chief officer of the customs at the port where the business is to be transacted, provided that officer shall be satisfied that such person is of good moral character. 3. Firms or co-partnerships, and corporations, associations, or joint- stock associations may be so licensed, provided that all of the members of the firm or co-partnership have been duly licensed as customs brokers, or, in the case of a corporation, association, or joint-stock association, provided that the officers, agents, or attorneys designated to represent the same have been so licensed. 4. Individuals, firms, co-partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint-stock associations, or their employees, officers, agents, or attorneys transacting business at a customs house pertaining solely to their own im- portations or exportations are not required to be licensed. 90 5. Employees of duly licensed brokers will not be required to be licensed to act solely for their employers. All customs brokers shall file, however, with the chief officer of the customs at the port where the business is to be transacted an authorization specifically naming each employee who may transact customs business on behalf of such broker. Brokers will be required to promptly give notice of any changes in such employees; to exercise such discipline as will insure proper conduct on the part of their employees in the transaction of customs business, and will be held strictly responsible for the acts of such employees. 6. The application for license to transact business as a customs house broker will be substantially in the following form : 191- The Collector of Customs, ' l Sir: I, , being of good moral character and a citizen of the United States, do hereby apply for a license as customs house broker pursuant to the Act of Congress approved June 10, 1910.

SHIPMENTS OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTS TO THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS BY EXPRESS OR FREIGHT. Certificates of origin may be placed on commercial invoices. Separate or independent certificates bearing Notarial Seal no longer required for Cus- toms purposes. In lieu of certificates of origin required under former regulations to insure exemption from customs duties m the Philippine Islands of shipments from the United States of all articles, except rice, the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States and its possessions to which the customs tariff in force in the United States is applied, and upon which no drawback of customs duties has been allowed in the United States,* signed commercial invoices will after date hereof be accepted for free-entry purposes upon full compliance with the following conditions: Commercial invoices shall be furnished in duplicate and shall contain an accurate description of the merchandise itemized therein, showing the quantity, value, and weight, marks and numbers of packages and place of destination. Their presentation by consignees is required to effect customs clearance of importations into the Philippine Islands from the United States and its pos- sessions by freight, express, through the mails, in the baggage of passengers, or by any other means: Provided, That collectors of customs may, in their discretion, waive the production of invoices for household or private effects of nominal value. The original and duplicate invoices for merchandise the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States shall have the following certificate printed, written, typewritten, or stamped thereon: I hereby certify that the above-described articles are of the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States, or its possessions, and that no drawback of import duties has been or will be claimed thereon, and that this invoice is true and correct in all particulars. ♦Commercial invoices are required under the provisions of section 18 of the act of Congress approved August 5, 1909, known as the "Customs tariff of the Philippine Islands," for all articles imported into the Philippine Islands from the United States, although exporters in the United States have, in some instances, erroneously interpreted paragraph 9 of United States Treasury Department Circular No. 37, dated Washington, August 10, 1909, and reading in part, "This certificate (certificate of origin) will be accepted by the Philippine Government in lieu of any other official invoice," to mean that signed commercial invoices are not required. This is not the case, however, as the official invoice referred to meant the consular — or the equivalent of a consular — invoice bearing, instead of a United States consul's signature, the certificate of a United States commissioner, collector, or deputy collector of customs, such a? were required under the provisions of the Philippine tariff law of 1905. 95 This certificate shall be signed on both original and duplicate invoices by the manufacturer, seller, or consignor of the merchandise, or by a duly authorized agent of such seller, manufacturer, or consignor, and both invoices (except for shipments by post) shall be mailed to the consignee of the mer- chandise for filing with the customs entry pertaining to the importation. When shipments consist of both American and foreign products the arti- cles shall, if not separately invoiced, be segregated and their origin clearly indicated on the invoice — the American by the certificate prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the foreign by the notation "foreign goods.'' Merchandise of the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States and its possessions may be admitted to immediate free entry in cases where the certified commercial invoices prescribed herein have been delayed in tran- sit or are not available at the time of entry, upon the filing of a bond by the consignee in a sum equal to double the amount of duties that would accrue upon a like importation of foreign merchandise, with sureties acceptable to the collector of customs, conditioned on the production of the corresponding certified invoices within 120 days from the date of filing the entry for the merchandise. Invoices in duplicate, certified as provided in Paragraph III hereof, are required for all articles and merchandise received through the mails from the United States (except for consignments of one or more packages the value of which does not exceed ten (10) dollars United States currency). To insure prompt delivery, the original invoice offsuch shipments should be mailed to the postmaster, Manila, whether the corresponding package is addressed to Manila or to some other point in the Philippine' Islands; the duplicate invoice should be mailed to the addressee. Invoices for mail shipments may cover any number of packages bearing the same address and mailed on the same date. Note. Customs clearance of mail packages will be facilitated if merchandise of the United States and articles of foreign manufacture are packed in separate packages and prop- erly segregated in the invoices. Shipments of Domestic Products to the Philippine Islands by Freight or Express. A certificate of a customs officer as to drawback will not be issued for shipments of domestic products to the Philippine Islands by freight or express. Only a certificate of origin to be executed by the shipper in the following form and forwarded by him direct to the collector of customs at the port of entry of the merchandise into the Philippine Islands will be required for such products : 9G Certificate of Origin.

A certificate of a customs officer as to drawback will not be issued for shipments of domestic products to the Philippine Islands by mail. The Philippine government will not require any certificate of origin for mail ship- ments of products of the United States valued at less than $10. For mail shipments of such products valued at $10 or over there will be required a certificate of origin executed by the shipper in substantially the same form as for shipments by freight or express, which certificate the shipper will forward with the package. Customs Treatment in the Philippine Islands of Certain Articles. The following articles are subject to the payment of internal-revenue tax or of duties upon arrival in the Philippine Islands : Cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, snuff, matches, and liquors; rice and goods which are not the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States; articles upon which drawback of customs duties has been claimed or allowed. The shipment of opium or preparations of opium to the Philippine Islands is prohibited. 97 Marking of Packages of Merchandise Shipped to the Philippine Islands on which Drawback is Claimed. All packages of merchandise shipped to the Philippine Islands either by mail, freight, or express upon which drawback is claimed must be marked by the shipper "drawback claimed" in a conspicuous, legible, and permanent manner. Customs officers supervising the lading of goods exported to the said islands with benefit of drawback shall take special pains to see that the packages are so marked. Issue of Debenture Certificates for Drawback Due on Merchandise Shipped to the Philippine Islands. Debenture certificates for drawback due on merchandise exported to the Philippine Islands will be issued by collectors of customs only upon receipt of a certificate signed by the collector of customs of the said islands, showing either the payment of duty upon the merchandise at the port of entry or that it is provided for in the free list of the Philippine tariff. Shipments of Philippine Products, to the United States by Freight or Express. A certificate of a customs officer as to drawback will not be required in the United States for shipments of Philippine products by freight or express. Only a certificate of origin, to be executed by the shipper in the following form and forwarded by him direct to the collector of customs at the port of entry into the United States, will be required for such products. Certificate of Origin. Merchandise Shipped to the United States from Philippine Islands. Marks Description and quantity Value. Exporter. Vessel Consignee. Date of shipment. Declaration of Exporter. I, the undersigned, do solemnly and truly declare that I am the exporter of the merchandise specified above; that the description and other particulars of said merchandise are correct as set forth; that said merchandise is of the (a) growth, product, or manufacture of the Philippine Islands, and that no claim for drawback of customs duties has been or will be made thereon; (6) that the materials used in the manufacture of said merchandise were either of the growth or product of the Philippine Islands, or of the growth or product of the United States, or both; (c) that said merchandise contains no foreign 98 materials; ( Collector (or Deputy Collector) of Customs. Notf. (a) Erase unnecessary words, according to character of merchandise. If not manufactured, also strike out (b), (c), (d), and (c). If the articles contain foreign materials, erase (c). If no foreign material therein, erase (d) and (e). Bonds for the production of shipper's certificate of origin for merchandise claimed to be free of duty may be required for shipments by freight or express. Shipments of Philippine Products to the United States by Mail. A certificate of a customs officer as to drawback will not be required for shipments of Philippine products to the United States by mail. No certificate of origin will be required for mail shipments of products of the Philippine Islands valued at less than $10. For mail shipments of such products valued at $10 or over there will be required a certificate of origin executed by the snipper in substantially the same form as for shipments of such products to the United States by freight or express, which certificate the shipper will forward with the package. Bonds for the production of shipper's certificate of origin will not be accepted in the case of packages by mail. Customs Treatment in the United States of Certain Articles. The following articles are subject to the payment of internal-revenue tax or of duties upon arrival in the United States: Ciagrs, cigarettes, tobacco, snuff, and playing cards; rice; goods which are not the growth, product, or manufacture of the Philippine Islands or of the United States, or both; articles which contain foreign materials to the value of more than 20 per cent of the total value of such articles; and articles upon which drawback of customs duties has been claimed or allowed. The importation of smoking opium is abso- lutely prohibited. The importation of other forms of opium, for medicinal purposes, is governed by the act of February 9, 1909 (T. D. 29657). Marking of Packages or Merchandise Shipped to the United States on which Drawback is Claimed. The Philippine government will require all packages of merchandise shipped to the United States, either by mail, freight, or express, upon which drawback is claimed, to be marked by the shipper "Drawback claimed" in a conspicuous, legible, and permanent manner. This marking will serve as a notice to United States customs officers that duties are to be collected on the merchandise. 99 Blanks for Certificates of Origin. As certificates of origin will no longer be certified by customs officers, blanks for certificates of origin which are to be executed by the shippers will not be furnished by the Government. Invoice Required for Dutiable Goods. Invoices will be required both in the Philippine Islands and in the United States for dutiable goods over $100 in value. Blanks for invoices of ship- ments to the Philippine Islands may be obtained from the War Department, and for invoices of shipments to the United States from the Philippine customs officers. Shippers should not pack dutiable goods with goods covered by certifi- cates of origin. Cigars and Cigarettes. Cigars and cigarettes can not be imported into the United States by mail. They may be imported by freight or express if packed in boxes of not more than five hundred cigars in each box and in quantities of not less than three thousand in a single package. Notations on I. T. Entries of Goods from the Philippine Islands to Show Direct o ''Indirect Shipment. In order that the customs officers at ports of delivery may have more certain information as to whether or not shipments from the Philippine Islands are direct within the meaning of section 5 of the tariff act of 1909, collectors are instructed to make the following notations, according to the facts, on all I. T. entries covering Philippine products forwarded from their ports: (name of import vessel) arrived directly from Manila. Or— (name of import vessel) arrived trom (name port), where this merchandise from the Philippines was transshipped. A. Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary. 100 CUSTOMS INFORMATION FOR PASSENGERS ENTER1NO .1HRPQRT OF BOSTON. Paragraph 709, appearing in the free list of the present tariff act, govern- ing passengers' baggage, reads as follows: 709. "Wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment, toilet articles, and similar personal effects of persons arriving in the United States; but this exemption shall only include such articles as actually accompany and are in the use of, and as are necessary and appropriate for the wear and use of such persons, for the immediate purposes of the journey and present comfort and convenience, and shall not be held to apply to merchandise or articles intended for other persons or for sale: Provided, That in case of residents of the United States returning from abroad, all wearing apparel and other personal effects taken by them out of the United States to foreign countries shall be admitted free of duty, without regard to their value, upon their identity being estab- lished, under appropriate rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury, but no more than one hundred dollars in value of articles purchased abroad by such residents of the United States shall be admitted free of duty upon their return." Residents of the United States. Residents of the United States must declare all articles which have been obtained abroad by purchase or otherwise, whether used or unused, and whether on their persons, in their clothing, or in their baggage. The foreign value of each article, stated in United States money, must also be declared. Articles taken from the United States and remodeled, repaired, or im- proved abroad must be declared, and the cost of such remodeling, repairing, or improving must be separately stated. The following articles are dutiable: Household effects, including books, pictures, furniture, tableware, table linen, bed linen and other similar articles, unless used abroad by the owner for a period of a year or more. Goods in the piece. Articles of any nature intended for sale, or for other persons. The following articles are free if under $100 in value and if necessary for comfort and convenience for the purposes of the journey, and not for sale nor for other persons: Clothing. Toilet articles, such as combs, brushes, soaps, cosmetics, shaving and manicure sets, etc. Personal adornments, jewelry, etc. Similar personal effects, which may include — Cameras, canes, fishing tackle, glasses (field, opera, marine), golf sticks, guns, musical instruments, parasols, photographs, smokers' articles, steamer rugs and shawls, toys, trunks, valises, etc. Clothing and other personal effects taken out of the United States by the passenger if not increased in value or improved in condition while abroad.

The above lists of articles which are dutiable and non-dutiable are stated for the assistance of passengers and are not exhaustive. All articles are dutiable unless specifically exempted by law. Pack in one trunk, if practicable, all dutiable articles. Receipted bills for foreign purchases should be presented whenever pos- sible. Use does not exempt from duty wearing apparel or other articles obtained abroad, but such articles will be appraised at their value in the condition as imported, due allowance being made for depreciation through wear and use. Non-residents of the United States. Non-residents of the United States are entitled to bring in free of duty, without regard to the one-hundred-dollar exemption, such articles as are in the nature of wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment, toilet articles, and similar personal effects, necessary and appropriate for their wear and use for the purposes of the journey and present comfort and convenience and which are not intended for other persons or for sale. Citizens of the United States, or persons who have at any time resided in this country, shall be deemed to be residents of the United States, unless they shall have abandoned their residence in this country and acquired an actual bona fide residence in a foreign country. Such citizens or former residents who desire the privileges granted by law to non-residents must show to the satisfaction of the collector's representative on the pier, subject to the collector's approval, that they have given up their residence in the United States and that they have become bona fide residents of a foreign country. The residence of a wife follows that of the husband; and the residence of a minor child follows that of its parents. Goods Other than Personal Effects. Household effects of persons or families from foreign countries will be admitted free of duty only if actually used abroad by them not less than one year, and if not intended for any other person, nor for sale. Such effects should be declared whether the passenger be a resident or a non-resident of the United States. Articles intended for use in business, or for other persons, theatrical apparel, properties, and sceneries, must be declared by passengers, whether residents or non-residents. Cigars and Cigarettes. All cigars and cigarettes must be declared. Each passenger over eighteen years of age may bring in free of duty fifty cigars or three hundred cigarettes if for the bona fide use of such passenger. Such cigars and cigarettes will be in addition to the articles included within the $100 exemption. 103 Baggage Declarations. The law provides that every person entering the United States shall make a declaration and entry of his or her personal baggage. The law further requires that the values of articles shall be determined by customs officers, irrespective of the statements of passengers relative thereto. It will thus be seen that there is no discourtesy in the requirement that both a declaration and an independent appraisal shall be made. Taken to- gether, these requirements place the passenger in the same position as any other importer of merchandise. Passengers should observe that on the sheet given them there are two forms of declarations; the one printed in black is for residents of the United States; the one in red, for nonresidents. The exact number of pieces of baggage, including all trunks, valises, boxes, packages, and hand bags of any description accompanying the passenger, must be stated in the declaration. The senior member of a family, present as a passenger, may make declara- tion for the entire family. Ladies traveling alone should state that fact in their declarations in order that an expeditious examination of their baggage may be made. When the declaration is prepared and signed, the coupon at the bottom of the form must be detached and retained by the passenger, and the form given to the officer of the ship designated to receive the same. A declaration spoiled in its preparation must not be destroyed, but turned over to the purser, who will furnish a new blank to the passenger. After all the baggage and effects of the passenger have been landed upon the pier, the coupon which has been retained by the passenger must be pre- sented at the inspector's desk, whereupon an inspector will be detailed to examine the baggage. Passengers must acknowledge in person, on the pier, their signature to their declarations. Examination of any baggage may be postponed if the passenger requests the officer taking his declaration to have it sent to the appraiser's store. Passengers must not deduct the $100 exemption in making out their declarations. Such deductions will be made by customs officers on the pier. Contested Valuation. Passengers dissatisfied with values placed upon dutiable articles by the customs officers on the pier may demand a re-examination, but application therefor should be immediately made to the officers there in charge. If for any reason this course is impracticable, the packages containing the articles should be left in customs custody and application for reappraisement made to the collector of customs, in writing, within ten days after the original appraise- ment. No request for reappraisement can be entertained after the articles have been removed from customs custody. Miscellaneous Provisions. Currency (or certified checks after June 1, 1911) only can be accepted in payment of duties, but, upon request, baggage will be retained on the piers for twenty-four hours to enable the owner to secure currency or certified checks. 104 The offering or gratuities or bribes to customs officers is a violation of law. Customs officers who accept gratuities or bribes will be dismissed from the service, and all parties concerned will be liable to criminal prosecution. Discourtesy or incivility on the part of customs officers should be reported to the collector at the customhouse, to the deputy collector or the deputy surveyor at the pier, or to the Secretary of the Treasury. Baggage for Transportation in Bond. Baggage intended for delivery at ports in the United States other than the port of arrival, or in transit through the United States to a foreign country, may be forwarded thereto without the assessment of duty at the port of arrival, by the various railroads and express companies, whose representatives will be found on the pier. Passengers desiring to have their baggage forwarded in bond should indicate such intention and state the value thereof in their declarations before any examination of the baggage has been made. Sealskin Garments. , An act of Congress of 1897, as amended in 1910, expressly forbids the importation into the United States of garments made in whole or in part of the skins of seals taken in the waters of the Pacific Ocean; and unless the owner is able to establish by competent evidence and to the satisfaction of the collector that the garments are not prohibited, they cannot be admitted. Penalty for not Declaring Articles Obtained Abroad. Under Section 2802 and 3082 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, articles obtained abroad and not declared are subject to seizure, and the passenger is liable to criminal prosecution. 105 CUSTOMS HOUSE STATISTICS FOR THE YEARS 1911 AND 1912. 1911 1912 Vessels entered, foreign Vessels cleared, foreign Entries of merchandise for consumption Entries of merchandise for warehouse Entries, informal and free Entries, Specie Entries, Warehouse and Transportation Entries, Withdrawal and Transportation Entries, Immediate Transportation Entries, Withdrawals from Warehouse and Im- mediate Export Entries, Withdrawal for consumption Entries, For benefit of drawback Entries, Regular, received Entries, Appraisement orders Entries, Parcel post Entries, Parcel free Entrie, Parcels dutiable Parcels over $100 Number of packages sent to public stores Number of packages delivered by public stores .

Owing to the different inheritance tax laws in the several States, the transferring of securities is often a very burdensome task. Then there is also considerable book-keeping involved and proper receipts must be obtained for the payment of legacies. Why not have our Trust Department perform this service, while the estate is in your hands, and thus relieve you from these annoy- ing details.

When a vessel or other water craft intends to pass through the draw of one of the bridges covered by these rules and regulations, the master or pilot of the vessel or craft shall, on approaching within signalling distance, signify his intention to pass through the bridge by sounding with a whistle or horn the signal prescribed below, viz : General Signals. For Meridian Street Bridge: Two (2) long blasts followed immediately by two (2) short blasts and one (1) long blast. For all other bridges: Two (2) long blasts, followed immediately by two (2) short blasts. Special Signals. For Chelsea Bridge, North, by vessels drawing eighteen (18) feet or more: Four (4) long blasts. 204 For Northern Avenue, Congress Street and Summer Street bridges, by vessels drawing eighteen (18) feet or more: Four (4) long blasts. The signal given by a master or pilot shall be immediately answered from the bridge by three (3) long blasts of a whistle or horn unless under these rules and regulations a delay in opening the draw is permitted, and in case of such a delay the signal shall be immediately answered by two (2) long blasts. A long blast of a whistle or horn as herein provided shall continue for three (3) seconds and a short blast for one (1) second. 8. Upon hearing or perceiving the signals prescribed in paragraph 7, or upon verbal request from the master or pilot of any vessel or other water craft waiting at the bridge, the tender or operator of the draw of the bridge signalled shall at once open the draw for the prompt passage of any vessel or other water craft unless under these rules and regulations a delay in opening the draw is permitted : Provided, That the draw may not be opened if there is a train, car or other vehicle at the time passing over said draw, or if a train or car is approaching so closely that it cannot be safely stopped before reaching the draw, but the draw shall be opened as soon as it can be cleared, and no person, vehicle, car or train shall be permitted to begin to cross the draw after it has been signalled to open, excepting as herein provided. 9. Trains, cars, vehicles or persons shall not be stopped on any draw span for the purpose of delaying the opening of the draw, nor shall any vessel or other water craft be so handled or placed as to delay the opening or closing of any draw span, but all passage over, under or through a draw span shall be prompt so as to reduce delays to water and bridge traffic to a minimum. Upon notice from the Secretary of War so to do, the owner or owners of any bridge whose draw is held closed as authorized in paragraph 2 of these rules and regu- lations shall station and maintain at such bridge a tug to aid vessels and other water craft in passing expeditiously through the draw thereof. 10. The owner or owners of every bridge covered by these rules and regu- lations shall maintain in good and efficient order the draw span and the ma- chinery and appliances for operating the same and for assisting vessels while passing through the draw. The said owner or owners shall also provide and maintain at the draw span such number of draw tenders or operators as may be necessary to open and close the same promptly; and they shall also provide and maintain in good order on the bridge piers or fenders such fixtures as may be necessary to vessels in mooring or making fast while waiting for the draw span to open. 11. These rules and regulations shall not apply to steam vessels owned or leased by the United States, nor shall they apply to vessels employed by the City of Boston or other municipality for police and fire protection. All such United States and municipal vessels shall be passed without delay through the draws of all bridges, at any hour of the day or night, upon signalling by four (4) long blasts of the whistle. 12. These rules and regulations shall take effect on May 12, 1910, and all regulations or parts of regulations in conflict therewith are hereby revoked to take effect on that date. J. M.

William F. Fitzgerald. Term expires July 1, 1914. Joseph Conry. Term expires July 1, 1913. Francis T. Bowles. Term expires July 1, 1915. William S. McNary, (ex-ojjicio, Chairman Harbor and Land Commission.) Frank W. Hodgson, Chief Engineer. The port of Boston is administered by the Directors of the Port of Boston, a State board established by Chapter 748 of the Acts of 1911. The Act gives to the Directors very large powers for the purpose of developing and main- taining the port. Up to that time, the public supervision of the port lay in the hands of the State Harbor and Land Commission, whose consent it was necessary to obtain for the erection of any wharf or dock in any harbor in the State, but who had little powers of initiative. The Directors of the Port of Boston succeeded to all the powers of the Harbor and Land Commission in Boston Harbor, and, in addition, are given extensive power to provide and operate terminal f acuities, including wharves, docks, warehouses and railroad connections, with the right to purchase or expropriate any property that may be necessary. The Act which created the Port Directors requires them to prepare all necessary plans for the comprehensive development of the harbor, requires them to administer all terminal facilities which are under their control and to keep themselves informed as to the present and future requirements of steam- ships and shipping, and as to the best means which can be provided at the port of Boston for the accommodation of steamships, railroads, warehouse and industrial establishments. NEW BOSTON DRY DOCK. The Directors of the Port of Boston have voted to build a large dry dock and have appropriated $3,000,000 for that purpose. A site has been selected at the eastern end of the State's flats at South Boston and plans are being prepared for the same. The new dock is planned to be large enough to dock a vessel one thousand feet long and one hundred twenty feet wide. NEW PIER FOR THE HAMBURG-AMERICAN LINE. A large pier at South Boston, known as Commonwealth Pier No. 5, is in the process of completion, a part of which is to be used by the Hamburg- American Line. 210 The pier is 1200 feet long. 400 feet wide, has 40 feet of water at mean low water in the berths along side, and the entire pier is being covered with a double-story shed, or, in fact, three double-story sheds which are practically continuous, except that the middle shed is separated longitudinally from the two side sheds by railroad tracks running the length of the pier. With the completion of this pier, a viaduct leading from the second story of the pier to Summer Street is to be built for the purpose ot separating passen- ger traffic from the railroad and heavy teaming traffic. A grain elevator is also to be constructed. Half of the pier shed is under contract to be completed by May 1, 1913, the whole of the sheds by April 1, 1914. The Hamburg- American Line is assigned the use of one-half of the pier for five years with the right on their part to renew for five years longer. They have agreed to institute a direct service from Boston to Hamburg with some of their best boats, during the coming summer. BOARD OF HARBOR AND LAND COMMISSIONERS. Telephone, Haymarket 2700. William S. McNary, Chairman. Term expires July 1, 1915. George E. Smith. Term expires July 1, 1913. Charles C. Paine. Term expires July 1, 1914. The Board of Harbor and Land Commissioners have charge of the lands, rights in lands, flats, shores, and rights in tide waters belonging to the Common- wealth. It has the power of making surveys and improvements for the preservation of harbors and may repair damages occasioned by storms or other destructive agencies along the coast line or river banks of the Common- wealth, excepting such as are within the jurisdiction of the Directors of the Port of Boston. All the rights, powers and duties in respect to such lands, rights in lands, flats, shores, waters, and rights belonging to the Commonwealth in tide waters, and land under water, as constitute that part of Boston Harbor lying westerly and inside of a line drawn between Point Allerton on the south and the southerly end of Point Shirley on the north are vested in the Directors of the Port of Boston. 211 QUARANTINE DEPARTMENT. 100 Summer Street.

Engine 44. Capt. Walter S. Eaton, Acting District Chief. Telephone, Tremont 880. The fire fighting force of Boston Harbor was organized on October 14, 1909, into a fire district known as the Marine District, which has three fire boats, engines numbers 31, 44 and 47. Engine 31 is stationed at the North End Park, and has the Charlestown water front boxes and the bridges of the Charles River to respond to. Engine 44 is stationed at the Northern Avenue Bridge, and answers calls from Long Wharf through Fort Point Channel and the South Bay and around the South Boston water front to the L-Street Bridge. Engine 47 is stationed at East Boston South Ferry and responds to calls from Jeffries Point to the railroad bridge, Chelsea Creek, and also from the south side of the North Ferry to Commercial Wharf. Besides the city proper, the islands of the harbor and the property of the Neponset River are covered by the fire boats. Each boat has a crew of sixteen men, one captain, one lieutenant, four pilots, five engineers, and five hose men. The harbor is also patrolled by the boats, Engine 31 doing duty Tuesday and Saturday; Engine 44, Monday and Thursday; and 47 on Friday.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS OF MASSACHUSETTS. 20 Beacon Street, Boston. Frederick J. MacLeod, Cambridge, Chairman. George W. Bishop, Newtonville. Clinton White, Melrose. The Railroad Commission has general supervision over railroads, street railways, express companies and steamships cruising all the year around within the jurisdiction of the State. Its authority also extends to matters relating to public safety and convenience and to all matters relating to service and rates on complaint. The rights of the Board include the power to order for the safety and recommend for the convenience of the public in general. 223 Immigrant Fares from the port of Boston to principal cities, avail- able only for steamship passengers en route from Europe and other foreign countries to destinations in the United States and Mexico. {For rates to other points, see Joint Immigrant Tariff No. 14.)

Thomason, Commissioner, 294 Washington Street. Rule 1. — Cars Subject to Rules. Cars held for or by consignors or consignees for loading, unloading, for- warding directions, or for any other purpose, are subject to these demurrage rules except as follows: Sect. A. Cars loaded with live stock. Sect. B. Empty cars placed for loading coal at mines or mine sidings, or coke at coke ovens. Sect. C. Empty private cars stored on carrier's or private tracks, provided such cars have not been placed or tendered for loading on the orders of a shipper. Note. Private cars while in railroad service whether on carrier's or private tracks, are subject to these demurrage rules to the same extent as cars of rail- road ownership. (Empty private cars are in railroad service from the time they are placed by the carrier for loading or tendered for loading on the orders of a shipper. 224 Private cars under lading are in railroad service until the lading is removed and cars are regularly released. Cars which belong to an industry performing its own switching service are in railroad service from the time they are placed by the industry upon designated interchange tracks and thereby tendered to the carrier for movement. If such cars are subsequently returned empty they are out of service when withdrawn by the industry from the interchange; if returned under load, railroad service is not at an end until the lading is duly removed.) Explanations. Cars loaded with company material for use of and consigned to the rail- road in whose possession the cars are held are not subject to demurrage. Empty cars placed for loading with company material are subject to demurrage unless the loading is done by the railroad company for which the material is intended and on its tracks. Sect. A. Empty cars placed for loading live stock by shippers are not exempt and should be reported. Live poultry is not considered as live stock, and cars so loaded are subject to demurrage. Sect. C. Empty private cars stored on tracks switched by carriers, taken for loading without order or requisition from shipper, and without formal assignment by carrier's agent, shall be recorded as placed for loading when actual loading is begun. Note. Private cars belonging to an industry which does its own switch- ing, placed upon an interchange track for forwarding and refused by the carrier's inspector, shall be released from demurrage if withdrawn by the industry from the interchange track within 24 hours after rejection. Private cars are not in railroad service: (a) When loaded and unloaded on the tracks of the owner and not moved over the tracks of a carrier; (6) When placed by the carrier for loading on the tracks of the owner and refused by the inspector. Rule 2.— Free Time Allowed. Sect. A. Forty-eight hours (two days) free time will be allowed for loading or unloading on all commodities. Sect. B. Twenty-four hours (one day) free time will be allowed: 1. When cars are held for switching orders. Note. Cars held for switching orders are cars which are held by a carrier to be delivered to a consignee within switching limits and which when switched become subject to an additional charge for such switching movement. If a consignee wishes his car held at any break-up yard or a hold yard before notification and placement, such car will be subject to demurrage. That is to say, the time held in the break-up yard will be included within the forty- eight hours of free time. If he wishes to exempt his cars from the imposition of demurrage he must either by general orders given to the carrier or by specific orders as to incoming freight notify the carrier of the track upon which he wishes his freight placed, in which event he will have the full 48 hours free time from the time when the placement is made upon the track designated. 225 2. When cars are held for reconsignment or reshipment in same car received. Note. A reconsignment is a privilege permitted by tariff under which the original consignee has the right of diversion. In event of the presence of such a privilege in the tariff 24 hours free time is allowed for the exercise of that privilege by the consignee. A reshipment under this rule is the making of a new contract of shipment by which under a new rate the consignee forwards the same car to .another destination. 3. When cars destined for delivery to or for forwarding by a connecting line are held for surrender of bill of lading or for payment of lawful freight charges. 4. When cars are held in transit and placed for inspection or grading. When cars loaded with grain or hay are so held subject to recognized official inspection and such inspection is made after 12 o'clock noon, 24 hours (one day) extra will be allowed for disposition. 5. When cars are stopped in transit to complete loading, to partly unload or to partly unload and partly reload (when such privilege of stopping in transit is allowed in the tariffs of the carriers). 6. On cars containing freight in bond for customs entry and Government inspection. Sect. C. Cars containing freight for transshipment to vessel will be allowed such free time at the port as may be provided in the tariffs of the car- riers. Explanations. Sect. A. When the same car is both unloaded and reloaded, each trans- action will be treated as independent of the other. Sect. B. 1. Applies to cars held on carrier line for disposition. (See Section B 2.) It also applies to cars held on the carrier line within a switching district consigned to a point on a switching line within such district which cannot be received on account of disability of the consignee. The carrier line must in all cases give notice in writing to the consignee of all cars so held. Time will be computed in accordance with Rule 3, Section B. Sect. B. 2. Applies to cars held in transit for reconsignment or on order of consignor or consignee. (See Rules 3, Section B, and 4, Section B.) A change of consignee after arrival of car at destination is not a reconsignment under these rules unless a diversion provided by tariff is involved. Rule 3. — Computing Time. Note. In computing time, Sundays and legal holidays (National, State and Municipal) will be excluded. When a legal holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be excluded. Sect. A. On cars held for loading, time will be commuted from the first 7 a.m. after placement on public-delivery tracks. See Rule 6 (Cars for load- ing). 226 Sect. B. On cars held for orders, time will be computed from the first 7 a.m. after the day on which notice of arrival is sent to the consignee. Sect. C. On cars held for unloading, time will be computed from the first 7 a.m. after placement on public-delivery tracks, and after the day on which notice of arrival is sent to consignee. Sect. D. On cars to be delivered on any other than public-delivery tracks, time will be computed from the first 7 a.m. after actual or constructive placement on such tracks. See Rule 4 (Notification) and Rules 5 and 6 (Constructive Placement). Note. "Actual placement" is made when a car is placed in an accessible position for loading or unloading or at a point previously designated by the consignor or consignee. Sect. E. On cars to be delivered on interchange tracks of industrial plants performing their own switching service, time will be computed from the first 7 a.m. following actual or constructive placement on such interchange tracks until return thereto. See Rule 4 (Notification) and Rules 5 and 6 (Constructive placement). Cars returned loaded will not be recorded re- leased until necessary billing instructions are given. Explanations. Note. The exemption of holidays does not include half holidays. Sect. B. When orders for cars held for disposition or reconsignment are mailed, such orders will release cars at 7 a.m. of the date orders are received at the station where the freight is held, provided the orders are mailed prior to the date received, but orders mailed and received on the same date release cars the following 7 a.m. Rule 4. — Notification. Sect. A. Consignee shall be notified by carrier's agent in writing, or as otherwise agreed to by carrier and consignee, within 24 hours after arrival of cars and billing at destination, such notice to contain point of shipment, car initials and numbers, and the contents, and, if transferred in transit, the initials and number of the original car. In case car is not placed on public-delivery track wrthin 24 hours after notice of arrival has been sent, a notice of placement shall be given to consignee. Sect. B. When cars are ordered stopped in transit the party ordering the cars stopped shall be notified upon arrival of cars at point of stoppage. Sect. C. Delivery of cars upon private or industrial interchange tracks, or written notice to consignee of readiness to so deliver, will constitute notifica- tion thereof to consignee. Sect. D. In all cases where notice is required the removal of any part of the contents of a car by the consignee shall be considered notice thereof to the consignee. Explanations. When cars are for delivery to public-team tracks, and placement is de- layed for more than 24 hours after notice of arrival is given, a notice of place- 227 ment must also be given to the consignee, and the free time for unloading com- puted according to the notice of placement. Rule 5. — Placing Cars for Unloading. Sect. A. When delivery of cars consigned or ordered to any other than public-delivery tracks or to industrial interchange tracks cannot be made on account of the act or neglect of the consignee, or the inability of the consignee to receive, delivery will be considered to have been made when the cars were tendered. The carrier's agent must give the consignee written notice of all cars he has been unable to deliver because of the condition of the private or interchange tracks, or because of other conditions attributable to consignee. This will be considered constructive placement. (See Rule 4, Notification.) Sect. B. When delivery cannot be made on specially designated public- delivery tracks on account of such tracks being fully occupied, or from other cause beyond the control of the carrier, the carrier shall notify the consignee of its intention to make delivery at the nearest point available to the consignee, naming the point. Such delivery shall be made unless the consignee shall before delivery indicate a preferred available point, in which case the preferred delivery shall be made. Rule 6.— Cars For Loading. Sect. A. Cars for loading will be considered placed when such cars are actually placed or held on orders of the consignor. In the latter case the agent must give the consignor written notice of all cars which he has been unable to place because of condition of the private track or because of other conditions attributable to the consignor. This will be considered constructive placement. (See Rule 3, Section A, Computing Time.) Sect. B. When empty cars, placed for loading on orders, are not used, demurrage will be charged from the first 7 a.m. after placing or tender until released, with no time allowance. Rule 7.— Demurrage Charge. After the expiration of the free time allowed, a charge of $1 per car per day, or fraction of a day, will be made until car is released. Explanations. Charges accruing under these rules must be collected in the same manner and with the same regularity and promptness as other transportation charges. Rule 8. — Claims. No demurrage charges shall be collected under these rules for detention of cars through causes named below. Demurrage charges assessed or collected under such conditions shall be promptly canceled or refunded by the carrier. Causes. Sect. A. Weather interference. 1. When the condition of the weather during the prescribed free time is such as to make it impossible to employ men or teams in loading or unloading, 228 or impossible to place freight in cars, or to move it from cars, without serious injury to the freight, the free time shall be extended until a total of 48 hours free from such weather interference shall have been allowed. 2. When shipments are frozen while in transit so as to prevent unloading during the prescribed free time. This exemption shall not include shipments which are tendered to consignee in condition to unload. Under this rule consignees will be required to make diligent effort to unload such shipments. 3. When, because of high water or snowdrifts, it is impossible to get to cars for loading or unloading during the prescribed free time. This rule shall not absolve a consignor or consignee from liability for de- murrage if others similarly situated and under the same conditions are able to load or unload cars. Sect. B. Bunching. 1. Cars for loading. When, by reason of delay or irregularity of the carrier in filling orders, cars are bunched and placed for loading in accumulated numbers in excess of daily orders, the shipper shall be allowed such free time for loading as he would have been entitled to had the cars been placed for loading as ordered. 2. Cars for unloading or reconsigning. When, as the result of the act or neglect of any carrier, cars destined for one consignee, at one point, are bunched at originating point, in transit, or at destination, and delivered by the carrier line in accumulated numbers in excess of daily shipments, the consignee shall be allowed such free time as he would have been entitled to had the cars been delivered in accordance with the daily rate of shipment. Claim to be presented to carrier's agent within 15 days. Sect. C. Demand of overcharge. When the carrier's agent demands the payment of transportation charges in excess of tariff authority. Sect. D. Delayed or improper notice by carrier. When notice has been given in substantial compliance with the requirements as specified in these rules, the consignee shall not thereafter have the right to call in question the sufficiency of such notice unless within 48 hours from 7 a.m. following the day on which notice is sent he shall serve upon the delivering carrier a full written statement of his objections to the sufficiency of such notice. 1. When claim is made that a mailed notice has been delayed the post- mark thereon shall be accepted as indicating the date of the notice. 2. When a notice is mailed by carrier on Sunday, a legal holiday, or after 3 p.m. on other days (as evidenced by the postmark thereon) the consignee shall be allowed five hours additional free time, provided he shall mail or send to the carrier's agent, within the first 24 hours of free time, written advice that the notice had not been received until after the free time had begun to run; in case of failure on the part of consignee so to notify carrier's agent, no addi- tional free time shall be allowed. Sect. E. Railroad errors which prevent proper tender or delivery. Sect. F. Delay by United States customs. Such additional free time shall be allowed as has been lost through such delay. 229 Rule 9.— Average Agreement. When a shipper or receiver enters into the following agreement, the charge for detention to cars, provided for by rule 7, on all cars held for loading or unloading by such shipper or receiver shall be computed on the basis of the average time of detention to all such cars released during each calendar month, such average detention to be computed as follows: Sect. A. A credit of one day will be allowed for each car released within the first 24 hours of free time. A debit of one day will be charged for each 24 hours or fraction thereof that a car is detained beyond the first 48 hours of free time. In no case shall more than one day's credit be allowed on any one car, and in no case shall more than five days' credit be applied in cancellation of debits accruing on any one car, making a maximum of seven days that any car may be held free; this to include Sundays and holidays. Sect. B. At the end of the calendar month the total number of days credited will be deducted from the total number of days debited, and $1 per day charged for the remainder. If the credits equal or exceed the debits, no charge will be made for the detention of the cars, and no payment will be made to shippers or receivers on account of such excess of credits, nor shall the credits in excess of the debits of any one month be considered in com- puting the average detention for another month. Sect. C. A shipper or receiver who elects to take advantage of this average agreement shall not be entitled to cancellation or refund of demurrage charges under Section A, paragraphs 1 and 3, or Section B of Rule 8. Sect. D. A shipper or receiver who elects to take advantage of this average agreement may be required to give sufficient security to the carrier for the payment of balances against him at the end of each month. Agreement. To Railroad Company: In accordance with the terms of Rule 9 of the national car demurrage rules, reading as follows : (Insert Rule 9 in agreement.) I (or we) do expressly agree with the above-named railroad company that I (or we) will make prompt payment of all demurrage charges accruing in accordance with such rule during the continuance of this agreement on cars held for loading or unloading by me (or us) or on my (or our) account at station of the above-named railroad company. This agreement is to take effect , 19 — , and to continue until terminated by 30 days' written notice to the railroad company. Approved and accepted by and on behalf of the above-named railroad company by . 230 SWITCHING CHARGES. When goods arrive over one railroad for export at a terminal owned by another, or are imported at the terminal of one road for interior shipment over another, then, in either case, the railroad owning the terminal makes a charge to the other road for its service in switching the car to or from its terminal and for loading or unloading it. For switching rates, see the Foreign Traffic Department of the Boston & Albany Railroad, Boston & Maine Railroad, and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. WHARFAGE RATES AT BOSTON. As adopted by the Boston & Maine, Boston & Albany, and New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroads.
