» 124 NORTH AMERICA. DOMINION OF CANADA. (From United States Consul-General Foster, Ottaica, Canada.) Through the courtesy of Mr. John McDougald, Canadian commis sioner of customs, I have received the following answers to the ques tions submitted by the Department of State in circular dated May 19, 1904 : The size and original cost of warehouses in Canada vary widely, according to class and location—the size from 100 square feet to 100,000 square feet floor space, and the cost from $100 to $100,000 or more. Warehouses are owned by railway companies, steamship com panies, or other corporations, firms, or persons applying for warehous ing privileges; the King’s warehouses or stores, occupied by the gov ernment, being used only for storage pending sale for nonpayment of customs duties. An importer by warehousing his goods is enabled to defer pay ment of duty until the goods are required for consumption, but not longer than two years, except in respect of spirituous liquors. Ware houses (except sufferance warehouses) are secured under customs locks, and an officer of customs is in attendance when required for receiving or delivering goods. The " proprietor ” of the warehouse keeps an account of goods received into and delivered from the warehouse. The warehouse fees received by the government at present are $40 per annum for bonded warehouses of class 2 and from $40 to $100 per annum for bonded warehouses of class 3. The scale of charges is not uniform in different places. The statement® hereto appended shows the scale of storage charges at one of the prin cipal bonded warehouses in the city of Montreal. The customs department has no information as to receipts and expenditures on account of the storage of bonded goods in ware houses. The classes of goods stored in bond are shown in the following statement, which exhibits the value of goods in warehouses June 30, 1903: «On file in tlie Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor, where it may be consulted by persons interested.
