OCEANICA: SOCIETY ISLANDS. 205 the goods from boat to warehouse and vice versa is facilitated by lighters at a cost of 5 marks ($1.19) for 40 cubic feet. The government warehouse is under direct care and supervision of the collector of customs, who keeps a record of all the merchandise entered and withdrawn, and at night an official is employed for its protection. The private storeroom owned by the Deutsche Handels and Plaptagen Gesellschaft is under the supervision of the collector of customs. Both the collector and the Deutsche Handels and Plantagen Gesellschaft have keys to the storeroom. Upon this infor mation I asked the collector if the same privilege would be granted to other merchants if they had the same facilities for storing goods. He replied that such a request could not be granted, and further that the Deutsche Handels and Plantagen Gesellschaft enjoyed this pre rogative long before the annexation, and as the present government warehouse was inadequate for the storage of the bonded goods of said firm, it was considered best not to undertake any changes at this time. Geo. Heimrod, Consul-General. Apia, Samoa, July 20,1904. SOCIETY ISLANDS. v (From United Stutes Consul I)oty, Tahiti, Society Islands.) At Papeiti, Tahiti, the port of distribution for French Oceania, there is a government shed, controlled by the customs authorities, in which goods in transit could be temporarily stored, but not secured in any way by the authorities against theft or damage. The capacity of the structure is ample for all emergencies in the immediate future. More important are the small warehouses connected with each of the large mercantile establishments here. The Government, in fact, accepts bond from the merchant and allows him to retain goods in his own warehouse, merely requiring that he report from time to time any sales of such bonded goods. There is no need of any very large warehouses under government or private control, as the goods received at this port are quickly distributed throughout French Oceania. Papeiti is a terminal rather than a junction for foreign commerce. Goods received are for this colony only. William F. Doty, Consul. Tahiti, Society Islands, August 25, 1904.
