126 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Class 2.—Warehouses occupied by importers exclusively for the storage of goods subject to duty, imported by, or consigned to them, or purchased by them. Class 3.—Warehouses occupied for the general storage of such imported goods. Class 4.—Yards, sheds, and other buildings used for the storing and slaughter ing of dutiable animals. Class 5.—Warehouses exclusively for the manufacture or refining of sugar. Class 6.—Sufferance warehouses. Warehouses of class 1. Sec. 2. At all ports where there are government stores they shall be used for the examination and appraisement of imported goods, and the storage of unclaimed and seized goods, and where there are no such stores the collector may, under the direction of the minister of customs, make temporary arrangements for suitable premises for those purposes, or may deposit such unclaimed or seized goods in any warehouse of class 3. Warehouses of class 2. Sec. 3. A warehouse of class 2 shall consist of an entire building, or not less than one whole flat of such building, and in the latter case there must be a separate entrance to such flat, and the warehouse must be so arranged as that the customs locks will prevent all access to the floor set apart and established as a warehouse, within the meaning of the term as above, and no partitions of slats shall in any case be allowed, but all divisions between the part of a building occupied as a warehouse, whether door or partition, shall be of the most solid and secure description possible in each case. Warehouses of class S. Sec. 4. A warehouse of class 3 shall in every case consist of an entire build ing and shall be used solely for the storage of merchandise subject to duty, or of unclaimed and seized goods ordered thereto by the collector of customs. The rate of storage and compensation for labor in the handling of goods in warehouses of this class shall be subject to agreement between the owner or importer of the goods and the proprietor of the warehouse, who will collect all amounts due for storage and labor, the duty of the collector or proper officer of customs being to look after the safe custody of the goods for the security of the revenue only. Should the collector of customs require to deposit in any such warehouse unclaimed and seized goods, the charges for storage and labor thereupon shall not exceed the regular rates, and the proprietor shall be liable as in other cases for their safe keeping. Applications for establishment of warehouses. Sec. 5. For a warehouse of the second or third class, the owner shall make application in writing to the collector of the port, describing the premises, the location, and capacity of the same, and stating the purpose for which the build ing is to be used, whether for the storage of merchandise imported by, or con signed to himself exclusively, or for the general storage of merchandise in bond. The collector will thereupon examine or direct the surveyor or other proper officer of customs, in whom he can repose confidence, to examine and inspect the premises and to report to him in writing the particulars of the location, con struction, and dimensions of the building, its capabilities for the safe keeping of merchandise, and all other facts bearing upon the subject. When the examination has been made, the collector will transmit the report, together with the proprietor’s application, with his own report as to the neces sity of granting the application to the commissioner of customs. Sec. 0. If on examination of the foregoing documents the minister of customs is satisfied that the public interest will be subserved thereby, the application will be granted, whereupon the owner or occupant will be notified by the collec- lector, and on fulfillment of the conditions hereinafter provided, the collector will assign a number for the warehouse and add the same to his register, plac ing a warehouse locker in charge thereof. Sec. 7. All warehouses of either class 2 or class 3 shall be secured by customs
