282 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES WAREHOUSES There are in the Greek free zone three kinds of warehouses with an aggregate serviceable floor space of 72,383 square meters (778,117 square feet). These warehouses are classified as follows: Nine provisional warehouses (hangars), 13,142 square meters (114,276 square feet). Seven common warehouses, 17,504 square meters (188,168 square feet). Thirty private warehouses leased by the free-zone administration to banks and to individuals, 28,237 square meters (303,547 square feet). Two other large warehouses were recently constructed by the Compagnie Générale d’Entrepots in accordance with a special arrange- ment with the free-zone administration, with a total floor space of 13,500 square meters (145,125 square feet). These buildings are four stories in height and are equipped with modern appliances for handling merchandise. In addition to the warehouses for storing general merchandise, there are several stables with a serviceable area of 2,200 square meters (24,617 square feet), which can accommodate 230 head of large stock and 1,600 head of small stock (sheep, goats, etc.). Proposed warehouse construction.—~During the current year the Greek free zone planned to erect three new warehouses with an aggregate floor space of 10,000 square meters (107,500 square feet). However, as in the meantime the free zone purchased the land and buildings in the port area which formerly belonged to the Compagnie Immobiliére du Port, including two buildings of five stories each with a total floor space of 12,500 square meters (134,375 square feet), which will eventually be included in the free zone, only one new ware- house will be built. Other plans of the free zone for the current year include the erection of two 3-story stables. These stables will provide accommodation for 250 head of cattle and 5.000 head of small stock (sheep, goats, etc.). RAIL AND HIGHWAY CONNECTIONS The total length of the railway lines in the Greek free zone is 5 kilometers. The free zone has direct connections with the Saloniki railway station and yards near by, at which four distinct lines con- verge, giving Saloniki an adequate system of communications with Greece, Yugoslavia, and Turkey.
