C WAREHOUSES FOR STORAGE OF MERCHANDISE IN TRANSIT OR IN BOND. INTRODUCTION. At the instance of the Commercial Museum at Manila, P. L, the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, on May 11, 1901, requested that a call be made upon the consular officers of the United States stationed at the more important ports for information concerning warehouses at those places tor the storage, at a nominal rental, of merchandise in transit or in bond, and from which goods may be withdrawn for ship ment elesewhere without paying the customs dues. The Department of State therefore, under date of May 19, 1904, instructed certain consular officers of the United States to prepare reports covering the fololwing points: 1. Dimensions and original cost of warehouses, approximately. 2. By whom are the warehouses owned and conducted ? 3. Detailed account of service; (a) from the patron’s point of view ; (&) services rendered by the administration of the warehouses. 4. Scale of charges for storage (as full as convenient). 5. Receipts and expenditures on account of service. 0. What classes of goods, chiefly, are stored ? T. To what extent do Americans make use of these warehouses? 8. If convenient, give some idea as to the length of time goods remain in bond, as a rule. 9. Are all nationalities treated exactly alike by the administrators of the warehouses? If not, what distinctions are made? 10. Give an account of the facilities for and the cost of the removal of the goods from boat to warehouse, and vice versa. 11. Give, as accurately as possible, the care and supervision exer cised over the warehouses by customs officials. These reports are included in the following volume.
