CD ki - th The administration of the Greek free zone is in the hands of a commission which was established under legislative decrees dated February 15 and March 27, 1923. This commission is composed of (1) a representative of the munici- pality of Saloniki, (2) two delegates of the chamber of commerce of Saloniki, (3) one delegate of the commercial syllogue of Saloniki, (4) one delegate of the Association of Industrials of Saloniki, (5) the inspector of the public works of Saloniki, (6) the director of the customhouse at Saloniki, (7) the captain of the port of Saloniki, (8) the Government commissioner of railways and tramways, (9) a high functionary named by the Government general of Macedonia, (10) a representative of the minister of finance of the National Govern- ment of Greece, and (11) the director of the Saloniki branch of the national bank of Greece. Number of guards.—The Greek free zone has in its service 65 guards in addition to the customs officers who belong to the customhouse service within the free zone. Cost of administration—The annual cost of the administration of the Greek free zone under its present organization is 12,000,000 drachmas ($160,000). OPERATIONS PERMITTED IN THE GREEK FREE ZONE For the time being the Greek free zone administration permits all operations within the free zone which may be properly classified as commercial, such as the purchase and sale of merchandise, transfer of property, weighing and sorting of merchandise, sample taking, repacking, etc., and all manipulations which do not substantially change the nature of the merchandise. In the private warehouses, the goods are placed on shelves and the merchants have full freedom, without any interference from the customs authorities, to effect sales either for neighboring countries or for local (Greek) consumption. When sales are made for local con- sumption, the merchandise is transferred to the Greek customhouse (located within the limits of the free zone) for the usual customs examination and clearance. The manipulation of merchandise at the present time consists chiefly of the shelling of nuts and the sorting of fruits and dried vegetables from Yugoslavia, and the sorting and repacking of cocoons and opium of Serbian and Turkish origin for reexport. From 200 to 300 persons are employed for this work according to requirements,
