Collectors, naval officers, and surveyors are required to have posted in a public place in their offices a fair table of the fees demandable by law at their ports, subject at all times to inspection, and to give receipts for fees collected, specifying the particulars, whenever required to do so. Failure to observe these requirements entails a penalty of $100 for the benefit of the informer.

Consolidated blanks will be furnished by the Department on requisition, so that there will be but one form (Cat. No. 154) for the certificate of the person for whom the services are done. The detailed report of services performed under the act of June 10, 1890, will be made upon form Cat. No. 153, and under the act of June 19, 1886, upon form Cat. No. 1534, whether on the seacoasts &c., or the northern frontiers. § 2.

ART. 1958. The phrase "or other official certificate," as used
in section 2654, Revised Statutes, is held to embrace
every certificate requiring the collector's official signa-
ture, required by and given to a merchant or his agent,
and not simply a memorandum between officers for the
convenience or security of the United States, like an
order to the storekeeper to deliver examined pack-
ages, or a stamp on an invoice, or a jurat to an oath.
(Schell vs. Cochron, Sup. Ct., October, 1882.)
For a landing permit of passengers' baggage, whether
embracing the baggage of one or more persons, a single
fee only is allowed.

The actual expense incurred in weighing, gauging, or
measuring imports will be collected in all cases where
the invoice or entry shall not contain the weight,
quantity, or measure of the merchandise weighed,
gauged, or measured, and whenever the weighing,
gauging, or measuring shall disclose a difference be-
tween the actual weight or quantity and that speci-
fied in the invoice or entry, affording a well-grounded
presumption of fraud, the collector will advise with
the district attorney of the United States in regard
to the case, and will be governed by his opinion as to
the propriety of instituting legal proceedings for en-
forcing the penalty provided by law.
