A memorandum on an importation case involving May & Ellis in New Orleans explains that they were improperly valuing the goods they were importing. The Board of General Appraisers investigated the matter and determined the proper value of the Nottingham netting being imported. Agent T. Aubrey Byrne, who had been involved with the case, was not called to testify because Treasury Department did not feel his testimony would add enough value to justify his traveling for the hearing.
