General Managers,

(5) From the foregoing it will be seen that, before the proper tolls can be levied, it will be necessary for the admeasurers at the canal to know roth (a) the net registered tonnage, or the equivalent thereof, of every vessel using it, domestic and foreign, in

statutes for estimating net regis tered tonnage, and (b) the Pana me canal net tonnage, as shown on her Panama canal certificate of measurement. The offioiel papera carried by a United States commercial vessel, in the form of her register or enrollment, will give (a) her net ragiatered tonnage, and in her case no further steps will be necessary; but every for eign vessel, and every domestic vessel such as transports, colliers, supply and hospital ships, should oblain (a) a certificate from any official who may be authorized to issue it, specifying her net ton nage in accordance with the United States statutes; otherwien, she will of necessity be delayed in canal waters pending remen- surement for this purpose.
