[78-L] 1922 customs decision on broken records during shipment - between whea t and opium issues

[Rodger Holtin]

You may have to scroll down to pg 568:

"45056 - Breakage - Damage - Protest is here made against payment of duty on 243 phonograph records examined at the appraiser's store and found broken.  
Opinion by Adamson GA - The merchandise can not be considered as perishable and no effort was made to abandon it to the Government.  The protest was therefore overruled, such an allowance being prohibited by paragraph X, section III, tariff act of 1913"

OK, would somebody like to translate the legalese for us laymen?  Pay the tax on missing opium but not on broken records, or pay the tax on broken records using opium?   I give up.

What am I looking for here? I get a few links to a book on Customs Decisions 
but no direct access to wheat, broken records or opium.
