62 WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. The customs officials have full care and supervision of the Govern ment warehouse, while the city warehouse is supervised and looked after by city officials, who, in case of goods subject to duty being deposited with them, are held responsible for the payment of the duty to the customs officials, and, furthermore, are authorized to demand a guaranty from the depositor for the payment of the amount of the duty. Ernest A. Man, Consul. Breslau, Germany, August 26,190If.. COLOGNE. (From United States Consul Barnes, Cologne, Prussia, Germany.) The area of the warehouses operated by the port administration of this city amounts approximately to 29.000 square meters (34,684 square yards). The original cost of the buildings was 2,330,000 marks ($554,540). They are owned and conducted by the town of Cologne. AÍI services usually rendered in connection with the receiv ing and forwarding of merchandise are assumed by the administra tion of the warehouses. The scale of charges for storage is inclosed herewith.® Receipts during the year 1903 were 94,000 marks ($22,372), and expenditures were 44,000 marks ($10,472). The goods chiefly stored are coffee, wine, sugar, and tobacco. Amer icans make use of these warehouses, but to what extent I am unable to state, as no statistics are obtainable concerning the different nations. All nationalities are treated exactly alike. It is impossible to give any estimate as to the length of time goods are kept in bond, but they seldom remain longer than one year. The most modern machinery and methods are employed in remov ing goods from boats to the warehouses. The cost of the service varies according to the kind of goods, and ranges from 2 to 3 cents per 220.46 pounds (100 kilos). The goods stored in the warehouses are all under the general super vision of the town and customs authorities, and they can only be re moved after all the necessary official formalities have been complied with. Chas. E. Barnes, Consul. Cologne, Germany, November 15,1901f. FREIBURG. (From United States Consul Liefcld, Freiburg, Germany.) Freiburg is an inland city with custom-house and officials, but not provided with warehouses for storage or for distributing purposes. I understand that at Singen, between Constance and Schaffhausen, a On file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor. Minimum charge is 50 pfennigs (11.0 cents). Rates per months for 220.4(5 pounds range from 1.1 cents for asphalt and potato or corn meal to 4.2 cents for such articles as cotton or woollen goods, eggs, tobacco, leather, glassware, and furniture.
