163 SOUTH AMERICA. BRAZIL. BAHIA. <From United States Consul Furniss, Bahia, Brazil.) Tn this district there is one warehouse in which the Federal Gov ernment and two in which the State government will allow merchan dise in transit or bond to be stored, and from which it may be taken for shipment elsewhere without payment of duty. The Federal law, article 204 of New Code of Laws for Custom- Houses, provides that private parties may gain the privilege of ware housing such merchandise as is subject to customs duties by (1) making petition by owner of building or lessee and proof of posses sion ; (2) allowing examination of edifice as to capacity and security by commission appointed by custom-house; (3) furnishing general plan of edifice with especial" reference to its entrances, interior, etc. ; (4) furnishing proof of character of owner and arrangement of bond; (5) furnishing documents to prove that owner is free from judgments and in full exercise of his person and property; (6) giv ing bond certified to by board of trade declaring the products which he wishes to warehouse. In accord with this law the " Trapiche 2° Gomes ” is designated a Federal bonded warehouse. This warehouse was built about ten years ago, is situated in the center of the commer cial part of the city, and faces an open square along the water front, from which it is distant about 200 feet. It is connected by a small surface track with a pier which extends sufficiently into the bay to per mit lighters and small craft to go alongside for loading and discharg ing, and has electric street-railroad freight service and carts for local transportation. The building is three stories high. Its walls are solidly con structed of stone, brick, and cement, and it is roofed with tile. Out side it is stuccoed. The wooden floors are supported by large wooden pillars carrying large wooden beams. Its frontage is 23.90 meters (78.4 feet) with a wall 1.35 meters (4.4 feet) thick; its depth is 47.90 meters (157.1 feet), with a wall 1.10 meters (3.G feet) thick, and its width at the back is 21.70 meters (71.2 feet), with a wall 1.10 meters (3.6 feet) thick. The bonded portion occupies part of the ground and second floors, being separated from the re maining portion of the warehouse by heavy iron grill work extend ing from floor tn ceiling. This section measures on the ground floor 37.38 meters (121.5 feet) by 22.15 meters (72.7 feet) by 3.75 meters (12.3 feet) high, and the bonded part on the second floor is the same in floor space, but has a height of 5.05 meters (16.6 feet). The services rendered by the administration consist simply in storing such articles as the custom-house will permit to be put in
