ITALY: GENOA. 73 In addition to the above information, the descriptive pamphlet“ gives the plan and various views of the warehouses externally and internally. THE DEPOSITO FRANCO OF GENOA. BUILDINGS ANI) MANAGEMENT. The Deposito Franco occupies a total area of about 172,227 square feet. The buildings are: One main warehouse of four stories, includ ing the ground floor, with an area of 21,097 square feet; eleven special warehouses of three stories, including the ground floor, with total area of 134,542 square feet, separated by streets suitable for the traffic, and an open warehouse or shed, iron, with an area of 16,415 square feet for the loading and unloading of goods within the gen eral inclosure. There are four hydraulic elevators for lifting mer chandise to the different floors. These are moved by the water power that works the hydraulic cranes of the port of Genoa. The build- mgs and appurtenances are all thoroughly modern, and together with their contents are kept with great neatness. Negotiations are now in progress to considerably enlarge the area devoted to this enterprise by taking in adjacent ground. The Deposito Franco is a continuation of the ancient Porto Franco (free port or zone) which dates back to the commencement of the commercial history of Genoa. A part of the old buildings with forti fied walls and entrance gate are still seen. In its present form it was established under a general law of the Kingdom of Italy dated 1876 by the chamber of commerce of Genoa, in whose hands its manage ment is vested. A pamphlet containing the general law, decrees, and mternal regulations is forwarded herewith.“ The chamber of com merce of Genoa owns and manages the warehouses. SERVICES RENDERED. The service performed is much the same as at the Magazzini Gen- er> ali, except that there is entire freedom for manipulating, cleaning, mixing, or changing the form of the various products—as, for in stance, coffee, sugar, rice, oils, etc.—and also for manufacturing should the introduction of any kind of manufacturing into the pre cincts be found desirable. The Deposito has the right of extraterri toriality, and the merchandise pays duty only on the form in which it is introduced into the country, and not on that in which it arrives at the port. On page 13 of the pamphlet referred to will be found a list of the articles excluded from deposit. Since March 25, 1900, the exclusion extends to foreign wines. The cause of the exclusion of wines is that after the mixing and other manipulation it is impracticable to follow accurately the schedule of duties which are fixed differently for coun tries with the “ most favored nation ” clause and others. The re maining articles excluded are those of government monopoly, or those thought to entail danger or too much inconvenience or risk of mss in the guardianship. There is a separate depository (municipal) tor the storage of petroleum and other inflammable materials. “On file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor.
