FRANCE’. HAVRE. 31 SERVICE. Vessels of all nationalities coming from foreign countries or from France can load or discharge their cargoes in the docks belonging to the company. Discharging in these docks is obligatory when half of the cargo is to be stored in the bonded warehouses. In case there is no room in the company’s docks arrangements can be made for dis charging in other docks of the port. In general no workmen, except those of the company, may load or discharge cargo or perform any other kind of work on the premises of the company, except that, when the crews are sufficiently numerous, they may load and discharge the cargoes of their own vessels. In this case the charges for the use of the quays, etc., are only one-third of those set forth in the tariff of charges. When there are not enough nien in the crews to load and discharge the vessels the company will supply the deficiency at rates fixed by the tariff of charges. If, how ever, the number of men to be furnished by the company exceeds one- third of the total number required, all the work of loading and dis charging will be performed bv the company and full rates charged. The hoisting apparatus and other rigging of vessels must be placed at the disposition of the company to assist in the operations of loading a nd discharging. Vessels which have steam cranes will be allowed a reduction of the tariff, to be settled by agreement. The men necessary for running the cranes, together with the coal and oil, will be furnished hy the vessel under the responsibility of the captain. When discharg ing or loading cargo the captain, first officer, or other person author ed by the owner of the vessel, consignee, or ship’s broker should be Present. When merchandise is weighed or verified by the customs officers the company will represent absent owners. The company is not responsi ble for ingots of copper, money, jewels, and packages of great value, whether they form part of a cargo or belong to private individuals, unless they are deposited with the company; in this case a special receipt will be given without extra charge. The company is not responsible for any loss which may occur in breaking out and discharging a cargo of a vessel except when all the V®rk is performed by its own employees, nor is the company respon sible for any damage to a vessel entering, leaving, or moored in its docks. Vessels are maneuvered by their captains, or other officers, under the direction of the harbor master of the port. If there are not enough men aboard, the company will furnish the necessary help at the expense of the vessel. No vessel can leave the dock without a per- unt issued from the office of the company. If a vessel should leave without a permit, the agent of the vessel, the consignee, or the broker wdl be held responsible for all unpaid charges. At the request of the consignees, or others interested, the company furnish lists of weights of cargoes within twenty-four hours after the weights have been verified by the customs officers. The charges f° r this service, based upon the tonnage registered in the custom house, are, 200 tons and less, 10 francs ($1.93) ; from 201 tons to 500 tous, 15 francs ($2.895) ; 501 tons and upward, 25 francs ($4.825). The company is solely and exclusively authorized to carry on all work of handling merchandise from the time it enters the w&re-
