SummaryResumen
This article on administering Santo Domingo's finances under the American customs receivership reports that customs receipts, only about $2,000,000 a year before the receivership, reached $3,042,801 in 1912, the highest figure ever attained, with the first four months of 1913 indicating more than $4,000,000 for the year. It credits Receiver-General Pulliam, predecessor of Mr. Vick, with expelling dishonest collectors who had grafted by letting goods in without duty, notes that receipts rose even after export duties were cut by 50 per cent and import duties by 15 per cent, and says the receivership gave the Dominican government more money for its own purposes than it ever had before and built the first real roads in the republic outside the towns.
Este artículo sobre la administración de las finanzas de Santo Domingo bajo la receptoría aduanera estadounidense informa que los ingresos de aduanas, de solo unos $2,000,000 al año antes de la receptoría, llegaron a $3,042,801 en 1912, la cifra más alta jamás alcanzada, y que los primeros cuatro meses de 1913 indican más de $4,000,000 para el año. Atribuye al receptor general Pulliam, predecesor del señor Vick, la expulsión de recaudadores deshonestos que habían lucrado dejando entrar mercancías sin pagar derechos, señala que los ingresos aumentaron aun después de que los derechos de exportación se redujeron en un 50 por ciento y los de importación en un 15 por ciento, y dice que la receptoría dio al gobierno dominicano más dinero para sus propios fines que el que jamás había tenido antes y construyó los primeros caminos verdaderos de la república fuera de las ciudades.

What the receivership has really done for the
Dominican government la shown by the fact that
whereas the customs receipts were only about
$2,000,000 a year before the receivership, the
receipts for 1912 were $3,042,801. This is the
highest figure ever attained, and collections for
the first four months of the present calendar
year Indicate that the total receipts for 1913 will
exceed $4,000,000.
W. E. Pulliam. Mr. Vick's predecessor, effected
many reforms in the administration of the Do
minican customs which will assist Mr. Vick
materially when he takes charge. It was found
that one reason for the small receipts lay in the
dishonesty of the collectors. The men whom the
American receiver expelled from the servico
found difficulty in understanding why there
should be any objection to their modest pecula
tions. Similarly, It was found that other men
in the customs service were grafting by permit
ting goods to enter without duty upon payment
