Section 61

SEC. 61. As soon as practicable they shall submit to the surveyor their discharging book, accompanied by the permits and orders of discharge, and all other vouchers relating to the disposition of the cargo and a return thereof. They shall first enter therein the baggage permit, if there is one and shall enter separately: First, all free permits; second, all consumption permits; third, all warehouse permits; fourth, all permits for the delivery of "I. T." goods to the surveyor; fifth, all permits for the delivery to the surveyor of merchandise for transport or export, designating in the corresponding column such packages as were landed, sent to the warehouse, or delivered to the surveyor. On the return of the merchandise disposed of on consumption permits the entry number must in each instance be stated, and for merchandise delivered in bond, whether for warehouse, exportation, or transportation, the bond number must be stated on the return. In the marginal column must be noted all packages "not agreeing with permit" or "not found on board," and opposite to the entry of each warehouse permit the designated warehouse to which the merchandise was sent; or, if delivered to surveyor, the place of ultimate destination. Special care must be taken to state the correct date of the landing of merchandise from the vessel, and if it was landed on more than one day the first and last day on which each lot was landed must be stated. After the permits above mentioned are entered the inspector shall enter, under the proper designation, all packages by marks and numbers, which have been sent either to appraiser's store, sample office, general-order store, or elsewhere by special order, and all passengers' baggage sent to public store. After accounting for the cargo he must enter at the end of his on return a list of all the sea stores and of all the coal remaining on board.
