112 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. HANDLING. The bulk of the goods mentioned are brought to the board’s ware houses by carts and are taken away in the same manner. Tobacco is almost invariably landed at the open docks and carted to the ware houses, as are also tea, coffee, and cocoa. Most of the sugar housed is discharged from the importing vessel at the Albert, Stanley, or Wapping quays, and either taken direct from the vessel into store or stored after having been stowed on the quays. The board does not undertake either the cartage of goods landed at the open docks and intended for storage at their warehouses, or the cartage of goods from the said warehouses to the open docks for shipment, but from inqui ries made the following appear to be the rates usually charged for such services: Tobacco, about Is. 6d. (3G cents) per ton into store, and Is. 8d. (40 cents) out; sugar, about Is. 3d. (30 cents) per ton; tea, coffee, and cocoa, about Is. 6d. (36 cents) per ton; wines and spirits, about Is. 3d. (30 cents) per puncheon, 9d. (18 cents) per hogshead, 5d. (10 cents) per barrel, and Id. (2 cents) per case. All bonded goods are under the Crown locks, as well as the board’s, and customs officers are constantly in attendance at the warehouses to overlook the operations performed. At the sugar storehouses the customs officer is not always present, but he pays periodical visits to satisfy himself that everything is going on all right. No bonded goods can be delivered by the board without the authority of the cus toms, which is given on a form provided for the purpose. The dock board has several other large warehouses, but they are chiefly used for the storage of free goods. Transit sheds have also been provided by the board at most of the open docks for the tem porary storage of dutiable goods prior to their being passed by the customs authorities. The rate books inclosed are as last printed bv the dock board, the alterations which have been made from time to time in certain of the rates since the books were issued not being shown in the inclosed copies.
