ONTARIO: ORILLIA. 133 pays the duty as well as such storage dues as the owner of the build ing and the owner of the goods may have agreed upon—usually so much per package or barrel. The owner has access only when goods are received or delivered in the presence of a customs officer. At present the appraisers occupy a separate building, but as soon as the new custom-house, now in course of construction, is completed they will be assigned rooms in that building. All classes of goods which pay duties are stored in these ware houses ; they are used exclusively by persons to whom goods are con signed. Goods are stored on an average about six months. All cus tomers are treated alike. The facilities for handling merchandise are good and the cost is as per agreement. The care takers are employees of the collector of customs, and are changed as the necessities of the service require. The keys to the warehouses are under the control of the collector. W. R. Holloway, Consul-General. Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 10,190^. ONTARIO. LONDON. (From United States Consul Culver, London, Ontario.) In this city, and in all cities of Canada where a custom-house is located, the railways maintain warehouses where goods may be stored. They are termed “ bonded warehouses,” and some officer of the customs carries the key, and at certain hours is present at the ware house prepared to serve the public in the matter of the removal of goods. He also attends to the checking of goods as they are unloaded and checks them off when reshipped, or when properly cleared through the custom-house. These houses are owned and managed by the railways, and generally are a part of freight sheds, partitioned off so that they may be securely closed and locked. The goods may be in transit and awaiting transshipment, or they may have reached their destination in bond. These warehouses are equally convenient for consignor and con signee, for the goods may be inspected in the presence of the customs officer and if not acceptable to the purchaser may be remanifested and reshipped without the payment of duty. While the railways have and maintain a rate of charges for storage, varying according to the nature of the goods, yet they seldom demand payment unless they are put to some special trouble in regard to the consignment, and then the usual rate is charged, about 2 cents per hundred pounds per week, the first seven days always being free. Henry S. Culver, Consul. London, Ontario, June 13, 190 1^. ORILLIA. (From United States Consul Wakefield, Orillia, Ontario.) There is only one bonded warehouse in the district—a grain ele vator at Midland, on the Georgian Bay, owned by parties in Chicago,
