Trinidad and Tobago Blue Book, 1917

This is the 1917 Blue Book for Trinidad and Tobago, a government administrative publication rather than a pulp magazine. The document consists primarily of detailed customs duty schedules and tax information for the colony, listing tariff rates on imported goods under Ordinance No. 10 of 1913. The schedules specify preferential and general tariff rates for commodities including foodstuffs (flour, grain, meats, fruits), textiles, machinery, metals, spirits, and other manufactured goods. Rates are expressed variously per pound, gallon, dozen, or ad valorem percentage. The front matter includes an extensive index referencing sections on revenue, expenditure, military matters, legislation, education, agriculture, shipping, and other colonial administrative functions typical of British imperial governance records.
