Secretary of the Treasury Shaw believes that the transportation department should be reestablished in the customs division where it was formerly. Transportation is currently tacked onto the special agents division, and Deputy Chief Maher is the only person there with experience in transportation. The Treasury Department’s goal is to assist with commerce, and Shaw promises to make improvements in New England, if given a free hand to do so.
