Business offices: repair shops for vessels, and official residences (Dienstwohnungen) fof persons whose permanent presence in the free zone is necessary fo! supervision and administration purposes are permitted. Operations prohibited in the free zone.—The following prohibition= are in force in the free zone: Industrial undertakings, the retail trade, and the construction 0: residences in general are not allowed in the free zone. The retail sale of ships’ stores and provisions is allowed in the free zone only by permission of the police. Used ship’s equipment, left-over goods from vessels, etc., can only be sold in the free zone to certain firms by permission of the police Dispatch secured in unloading vessels.—As the greatest part of the cargo that arrives or leaves Emden is in the transit trade and mostly consists of bulk cargo, such as iron, steel, ore, coal, etc., the Neue! Binnenhafen, where most of the bulk cargo (with the exception o grain) is dispatched, is equipped with the most modern equipment The railway facilities are adequate, and thus Emden is able to d¥ patch consignments in bulk very quickly. It might be mention that, during the British coal strike in 1926, 600,000 tons of goods Wer handled at Emden in one month. The two sheds on the quay of the Aussenhafen are roomy and 8% divided in various sections. Ample light is also available. On th? side facing the water, as well as at the back, these sheds have a co” tinuous series of sliding doors, so that they may be opened at any po? directly opposite the vessels or railroad cars. The dock area has 1 own high-pressure water supply, special fire stations, and its ow’ electric service station; all cranes are driven by electricity.
