Walter Schumann, Consul. Mainz, Germany, July 21,190\ STETTIN. (From United States Consul Kehl, Stettin, Ocrmany.) THE FREE HARBOR AND ITS WAREHOUSES. The free harbor at Stettin, commenced on February 6, 1894. and opened for business during the latter part of 1898, covers an area of 61 hectares (150.73 acres). The cost of construction (in marks) up to the time of opening was placed as follows: Earth work on the basin and the raising of the surrounding land, 1,700,000; quay around basin, 3,000,000; two quay sheds, 950,000; one storehouse, including machinery furnishings, 1,117,500 ; office building, 495,000; machine bouse, 250,000; other buildings, 270,000; wire fencing and floating customs boat at entrance to harbor, 180,000; machinery, excepting that in storehouse, 700,000; railroad bed, ties, rails, etc., 875,500; paving and roadways, 1,200,000 ; locomotive, 100,000; gas and water connections, sewerage, ferry, drain, etc., 694,500; value of ground, 3,050,000; total, 14,582,500 ($3,470,635). Since the day of opening about 3,000,000 marks ($714,000) addi tional have been spent on the harbor, in the way of new sheds, storehouse, building a second basin, etc. The sheds referred to in the above statement of cost are each 30 meters (98.4 feet) broad, 182 meters (593.8 feet) long, and contain 6,530 square yards of floor space. The plans of the harbor permit the erecting of ten such sheds. The store or ware house referred to is 20 meters (65.1 feet) broad and 182 meters (593.8 feet) long, and has five floors and cellar. The building is divided by fireproof walls into twelve compartments. As in the case of sheds, the plans of the harbor permit, if necessary, the erec tion of eight such warehouses. The free harbor, the various build ings, locomotives, and ferry are owned, operated, and conducted by the city. SERVICES. The advantages of the free harbor, from a patron’s point of view, are that the merchandise may remain in storage for an indefinite period without paying duty, and that at any time all or any part of the mer chandise stored may be withdrawn for inland transportation—in which event the customs duty must be paid—or the merchandise can be reexported, in which case a statement of nature, quantity, country °f origin, and country of destination must be furnished the harbor officials for statistical purposes. Patrons can use their certificate of merchandise in bond for collateral purposes by transferring the cer tificate to the party or parties advancing the money. The services rendered by the administration of the warehouse are 18762—05 M 5
