Both sections are placed, with other provisions relating to the qualifications of and duties of officers of the customs, under chapter 2 of this Title, post, §§ 5355, 5356. Sec. CHAPTER TWO Qualifications, Pay, and Duties of Officers Customs-collection districts with headquarters and ports of entry, in lieu of existing districts and ports, were established by the reorganization of the Customs Service pursuant to the provisions of Act Aug. 24, 1912, c. 355, § 1, ante, § 5327, which section provided that such reorganization "should constitute for the fiscal year 1914, and until otherwise provided by Congress, the permanent organization of the Customs Service." The reorganization limited the expense of the Customs Service, prescribed the number of collectors, naval officers, surveyors, and other customs officers and employés for each district, and their compensation, required all moneys collected, "whether as fees, storage, commissions or from the sale of blank forms or otherwise," to be "covered into the Treasury," and authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to "appoint a deputy collector to have charge of each port of entry, who shall perform such duties and receive such compensation as the Secretary of the Treasury shall determine," and to "cause to be stationed at places in the various collection districts, though not named as ports of entry, officers or employés of the customs, with authority to enter and clear vessels, to accept entries of merchandise, to collect duties, and to enforce the various provisions of the customs and navigation laws."
