(See attached map showing present railways, those under construction, and those projected.) Outline of the history of the port of Leghorn.—Although there are evidences that Leghorn was used as a port during the period of the Roman Empire, the actual history of the port begins with its estab- lishment by the Pisans at the beginning of the fourteenth century. In 1571 elaborate harbor works were commenced, these works being completed in 1618. During the next hundred years Leghorn flour- ished as a free city and became a haven for the oppressed peoples of dsther countries. The present harbor includes portions of construction mentioned above, further improvements being made in 1858 and 1866. New moles were built during the period from 1870 to 1878 and enlarged docking facilities were built in 1905 and 1909. Until the present Project was commenced, no harbor improvements of importance have been made since 1909 with the exception of the construction of new warehouses. THE FREE PORT OF NAPLES, ITALY [From Sydney B. Redecker, American consul, Naples, Italy] Leading port of southern Italy.—Naples is the most important port of southern Italy and of all Italian ports is only exceeded in general maritime traffic by Genoa and Trieste, the two latter serving the densely populated and highly industralized sections of northern Ttaly. The following table shows the traffic of the port of Naples during the Vear 1927: 17, 183 18, 154, 053 1,975, 134 383, 810 583, 744 592, 276 Free port at present confined to bonded warehouses. —At present the So-called ‘‘free-port’ facilities of Naples are confined to merely a free space or zone covering about 2,000 square meters, called the “Punto Franco.” However, this is a free zone only in the sense that Ww this section are situated the bonded or government-controlled Warehouses, or ‘“‘magazini generali,” for the storing of foreign mer- thandise without the payment of the import duty. Merchandise to de stored in the magazini generali must be accompanied by a special Permit issued by the customhouse and the transfer of goods into and but of the warehouses is supervised by customs agents.
