WAREHOUSES 
There are in the Greek free zone three kinds of warehouses with an 
aggregate serviceable floor space of 72,383 square meters (778,117 
square feet). 
These warehouses are classified as follows: 
Nine provisional warehouses (hangars), 13,142 square meters 
(114,276 square feet). 
Seven common warehouses, 17,504 square meters (188,168 square 
feet). 
Thirty private warehouses leased by the free-zone administration 
to banks and to individuals, 28,237 square meters (303,547 square 
feet). 
Two other large warehouses were recently constructed by the 
Compagnie Générale d’Entrepots in accordance with a special arrange- 
ment with the free-zone administration, with a total floor space of 
13,500 square meters (145,125 square feet). These buildings are four 
stories in height and are equipped with modern appliances for handling 
merchandise. 
In addition to the warehouses for storing general merchandise, there 
are several stables with a serviceable area of 2,200 square meters 
(24,617 square feet), which can accommodate 230 head of large stock 
and 1,600 head of small stock (sheep, goats, etc.). 
Proposed warehouse construction.—~During the current year the 
Greek free zone planned to erect three new warehouses with an 
aggregate floor space of 10,000 square meters (107,500 square feet). 
However, as in the meantime the free zone purchased the land and 
buildings in the port area which formerly belonged to the Compagnie 
Immobiliére du Port, including two buildings of five stories each 
with a total floor space of 12,500 square meters (134,375 square feet), 
which will eventually be included in the free zone, only one new ware- 
house will be built. 
Other plans of the free zone for the current year include the erection 
of two 3-story stables. These stables will provide accommodation 
for 250 head of cattle and 5.000 head of small stock (sheep, goats, etc.). 
RAIL AND HIGHWAY CONNECTIONS 
The total length of the railway lines in the Greek free zone is 5 
kilometers. The free zone has direct connections with the Saloniki 
railway station and yards near by, at which four distinct lines con- 
verge, giving Saloniki an adequate system of communications with 
Greece, Yugoslavia, and Turkey.
