Section 37
SEC. 37. Harbor district inspectors must be in their respective districts during such hours as the surveyor may direct, and where two inspectors are assigned to the same district one or the other or them must be constantly on duty during the prescribed hours. They have general supervision of all vessels coming into their districts, and shall report all discovered violations of the revenue or navigation laws and regulations to the surveyor. They are to make examinations as often as necessary of vessels coming into their districts, and to ascertain whether coastwise vessels are properly documented and have duly complied with all laws relating to navigation. They shall secure and seal the hatches and openings of all vessels from foreign ports coming within their districts, and retain the custody of the same until relieved by discharging inspectors. If no assignment of an inspector is made especially to such vessels, the harbor district inspector shall take charge of the lading thereof without further notice. In the case of vessels permitted to proceed to another district before completing discharging, the inspector in charge of the first district shall submit to the surveyor a statement of the portion of the cargo already discharged, for delivery to the harbor district inspectors, under whose supervision the remainder of the cargo is to of be discharged. The inspector in charge of the final delivery shall make the final returns of discharge. They shall report daily to their surveyor the names of all importing vessels which arrive in their districts during the previous day, distinguishing between those not discharged, those partly discharged in their districts, and those wholly discharged. They shall each keep a permanent record book, in which to enter, with necessary particulars, all entries, orders, and permits received by them, and in another book to enter an account of all coasting vessels examined, both books to be in the prescribed form.
