GERMANY! FRANKFORT. 53 matcly, could not be given on account of lack of data. The ware houses are owned partly by the State of Prussia and partly by the city of Frankfort. They are conducted by the Royal Prussian custom-house authorities. The administration of the warehouse cares for the safety of the goods deposited; as a general rule only goods upon which duty has yet to be paid may be deposited. Goods which are usually kept in packages must be in good condition so far as packing is concerned, mid defects in packing must be repaired before depositing goods. Goods the deposit of which may be injurious to the warehouses, as those suspected of infection, or which may be subject to spontaneous combustion or may explode, or which may injure other goods near, an d articles which may become putrid will not be admitted for storage. A register of all goods stored is kept, and the depositor receives a storage receipt. The administration is justified in considering the holder of the storage certificate competent to dispose of the goods, ail d is not obliged to make inquiry whether he is the legitimate owner of the receipt. If the administration has, however, been noti fied that the receipt has passed into wrong hands, a note is made of it ln the register, and the goods can not be withdrawn until the compe tent authority has decreed who is the rightful owner. Stored goods may be transferred by presenting the receipt and taking request to that effect. If, in the discretion of the manage ment, no objection is made, a corresponding change is made in the Register and the receipt ; eventually a new receipt is issued. If a receipt bas been lost the depositor of the goods must notify the management. A duplicate receipt will eventually be issued, and a note of it made in the register. Each withdrawal in part of the goods stored is noted y the management on the receipt; after all the goods have been with drawn the receipt remains with the customs authorities. The depositor can supervise his goods; he can lock them, in which case the method of locking must appear in his request for storage, the depositor is obliged to look after his goods from time to time and See to it that they are not injured on account of their position by yermin, etc., and if there has been such injury to notify the officer m charge. The depositor is permitted, on giving written notice to the manage ment, to take samples of the goods stored by him. The opening of _he packages, the taking of samples, and the closing of the pack ages anew must be done in the presence of an officer. The weight of the samples taken must be noted in the register, and if the total weight 'd the samples is subject to duty it must be paid when the goods are finally withdrawn. Owners and owners’ agents are allowed to repack goods in the warehouses under the supervision of customs officials for he purpose of dividing, sorting, cleaning, preserving them, etc., pro- Vl ded suitable room exists. Notice of such repacking must be given in ^rating and the receipt exhibited, and then the repacking can only be Proceeded with after the management has assigned an official for super mini). Packages which become empty through repacking have to T a y duty if removed from the warehouse. . The custom authorities refused to answer questions relating to C an( l receipts and expenditures. fhe chief articles stored at Frankfort are coffee, tobacco, sparkling
