MEXICAN BORDER SERVICE 
The movement of railway cars from Mexico continued to decline over the last 
fiscal year. A total of 13,302 freight cars was inspected in the Mexican railway 
yards. Of these, 12,448 entered the United States, 3,090 being fumigated as a 
condition of entry. Four hundred and ninety-nine cars were found to be con- 
taminated with cottonseed and were required to be cleaned before entry was 
permitted. The usual fee of $4 was collected for each car fumigated, and all 
fees collected were covered into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. 
A summary of the railway-car inspection and fumigation is given in table 33.

1 The apparent discrepancy in fees collected and the number of cars Fumigated may be explained by the 
(act that it is customary for the railroads to pucbase fumigation coupons in advance.
