MEXICAN-BORDER SERVICE 
A total of 36,475 freight cars from Mexico were inspected during 
the year, which represents an increase of 963 over the number in- 
spected during 1939. One hundred and seven more freight cars 
were fumigated in 1940 than in 1939. All cars found contaminated 
with cottonseed were required to be cleaned before entry was per- 
mitted. The usual fee of $4 was charged for each car fumigated, 
and all fees collected were covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous 
receipts.
