DUTY ON CREPE PAPER. 



The United States Circuit Court for 

 the southern district of New York has 

 decided that crepe paper is subject to 

 duty at 5 cents per pound and fifteen 

 per centum ad valorem. 



The term crepe paper, in paragraph 

 397, tariff act of 1897, is descriptive, 

 referring to the method of manufacture, 

 and includes a waterproof paper weigh- 

 ing about fifty pounds per ream, which 

 has been subjected to a creping process. 



The decision grew out of a protest 

 by an importer who claimed a lower rate 

 of duty. In aflBrming the assessment of 

 duty, Judge Hough said in part: 



' ' The importation undei: consideration 

 is paper in the sense that it is clearly 

 made of paper stock. It weighs before 

 creping or crinkling about fifty pounds 

 to the ream. It is partially, at all events, 

 waterproof, and is used largely, if not 

 principally, for the purpose of ornament- 

 ally covering flower pots or other recep- 

 tacles for flowers sold by florists, and 

 usually rather damp. It is not denied 

 that this paper has been creped or 

 crinkled by a machine similar in con- 

 struction and operation to that producing 

 crepe tissue paper or crepe tissue such 

 as has been long known to the trade.

 and rounded and so wide they overlap each other, thus giving a very attract-

 with an uneven edge of gold to each petal. Height, 3^ feet. Price, strong 

 plants, $2.00 each, prepaid; $18.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 

 UCTCnp Meteor is a vigorous grower with healthy green foliage. It is

 blooming luxuriantly all summer through. Price, plants or dormant roots, 

 75c each, postpaid; $6.00 per doz. by express, not prepaid. 



WILLIAM SAUNDERS (^^^)- I'^e flowers are large, of splendidform 



iwl^uiwm uwmmfcno ^j^^ ^^^ borne very freely in immense clust- 

 ers. The color is a deep, rich, shining scarlet, lightly dappled with crimson. 

 Foliage is a rich bronze. Height, '.iyi to 4 feet. We believe that Wm. Saun- 

 ders is decidedly the most perfect cannaof this type that has been introduced.

"The importation has been assessed 

 under paragraph 397, and appellant al- 

 leges that it is dutiable only as paper 

 not otherwise provided for, under para- 

 graph 402. 



"The importer relies upon the prin- 



ciple of Loeb & Schoenfeld v. United 

 States, asserting that crepe paper was a 

 well-known commercial term when the act 

 of 1897 was passed; that there is nothing 

 in the phraseology of the act indicating 

 that congress intended by the phrase
