The sum for which the goods stored are to be insured against fire must be determined. The goods to be stored must be accompanied by properly executed documents (invoices, customdiouse and taxation papers) and the written order for storage. Patrons are given receipts for the stored goods, or else can have warrants made out thereon. If goods in storage are in danger of spoiling, or their value no longer suffices to cover the expense of storage incurred, notice for removal may be given at any time, and if the goods are not taken away before the expiration of the period fixed they are sold and the costs of storage defrayed from the proceeds. Persons proving their identity as owners of the goods, or as the authorized attorneys of such owners, have the right to inspect their wares and to take samples of them. Goods are delivered upon written order of the owner and upon payment of all warehouse, cus toms, and taxation fees that may be due thereon.
