REGULATION.

ANNUAL SPECIAL LICENSES.

Annual special licenses, Classes A and B, may be issued for the carriage of cargo on deck, and the regulations of the 14th September, 1895, are modified accordingly. The master or owner shall make written application to a Collector of Customs for the license required, specifying the quantity and description of deck cargo for which the license is required, and the Collector may, after inspection of the vessel by a Surveyor or other officer approved by him, grant a special annual license, or for such less period as he may deem advisable:

Provided that a Collector may at any time during the currency of the license require that the vessel shall be inspected by a surveyor or other person approved by him, and may revoke the license if he considers that the report of such inspection justifies him in doing so.
