Sugar Imports of Three Years at Boston Port
Reports show 1906 through 1908 sugar imports at Boston totaling 1.065 billion pounds, with values around 7.6 million dollars annually and duties about 5.2 million yearly. Estimated duties paid by the American Sugar Refining Co. run near 4 million per year. Despite Attorney General Wickersham’s hint of probe into the sugar trust, local customs officials deny any investigation. Collector George H. Lyman’s absence prevents an authoritative stance on the matter.
