 Collector's Letter to the President of the Chamber of Commerce. 
 
 DECEMBER 21, 1871. 
 Sir, 
 
 The Rates of Storage and Labor chargeable on unclaimed 
 goods, established in 1857, and approved by the Chamber of Com- 
 merce in February of that year, have remained without revision. 
 
 The large increase of business, and the requirements of commerce, 
 demand the establishment of a schedule suitable to the present time. 
 May I ask the co-operation of your honorable body in the appoint- 
 ment of a Committee to meet with a Committee of the Warehouse 
 Proprietors, and a Committee from this office, for the purpose of 
 fixing a scale of prices, which shall be agreed upon as the future 
 charges at this Port. 
 
 I am, very respectfully, 
 
 C. A. ARTHUR, 
 
 Collector. 
 To the, President of the Chamber of Commerce, 
 
 New-York City. 
 
 , Answer to the above. 
 
 FEBRUARY 2o, ] 872. 
 Mr. C. A. ARTHUR, 
 
 Collector of the Port of New- York : 
 Sir, 
 
 In response to your letter of the 21st December last, request- 
 ing the appointing of a Committee by the Chamber of Commerce 
 to unite with a Committee to be appointed by yourself, and a Com- 
 mittee to be appointed by the Warehouse Proprietors, to revise the 
 rates of storage, &c., the Chamber of Commerce, at its meeting 
 yesterday, appointed Messrs. JONATHAN STURGES, WILLIAM A. 
 BOOTH, ABRAM S. HEWITT and SOLON HUMPHREYS as such Com- 
 mittee. 
 
 The Rooms of the Chamber are at the disposal of the Joint Com- 
 mittee whenever they are desired. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 (Signed,) GEORGE WILSON, 
 
 Secretary.
 
 RATES OF STORAGE AND LABOR 
 
 ON 
 
 IMPORTED MERCHANDISE DEPOSITED IN UNITED 
 
 STATES PRIVATE BONDED WAREHOUSES 
 
 AT THE PORT OF NEW-YORK. 
 
 Report of the Special Committee of the Chamber 
 of Commerce in relation thereto. 
 
 To the Chamber of Commerce : 
 
 THE Special Committee appointed to confer with the represent- 
 atives of the Custom House authorities, and of the Warehousemen 
 of the Port of New- York, in reference to a revision of the rates of 
 storage heretofore approved by the Chamber of Commerce, respect- 
 fully report : 
 
 That the several Committees met on the 6th day of February, 
 and after organizing by the appointment of JONATHAN STURGES, as 
 Chairman, and GEORGE WILSON, as Secretary, adopted the following 
 resolution : 
 
 " Resolved, That the Custom House Committee be requested to 
 prepare a complete schedule of articles, and that the Committee of 
 Warehousemen be requested to submit the rates of storage and 
 labor deemed by them appropriate thereto ; and that the said 
 schedule be then presented to this Committee for the purpose of 
 examination, and the suggestion of such modifications as may be 
 necessary to render the rates acceptable to the merchants of this 
 port."
 
 XIV 
 
 On the 26th clay of February the Joint Committee again assem- 
 bled, Avhen the revised schedule of rates recommended by the Com- 
 mittee of the Custom House and the representatives of the "Ware- 
 housemen was presented, whereupon the following resolution was 
 adopted : 
 
 " Resolved, That the Secretary cause to be printed the list of 
 Storage Rates submitted by the representatives of the Warehouse- 
 men and the representatives of the Custom House, and send a copy 
 thereof to each member of the Chamber of Commerce, and to such 
 other persons as may apply for the same, with a request that the 
 rates be examined by the members, and if any objections be found, 
 to transmit the same to the Secretary, on or before the 2d day of 
 March; and if no objections be received, the rates suggested will 
 be regarded by the Committee as unobjectionable ; but if any objec- 
 tions to the rates be made, the Committee will examine into the 
 same and pass thereon, in time for submission, if possible, to the 
 Chamber at the next regular meeting." 
 
 At the time appointed the Joint Committee again met, and for 
 two successive clays carefully considered the numerous objections 
 made to the proposed rates, and agreed unanimously upon the 
 schedule of revised rates herewith submitted. In recommending 
 these rates to the approval of the Chamber, your Committee deem it 
 proper, in view of a misconception which prevailed to some extent in 
 the communications sent to them, to call attention to the fact that 
 these rates are maximum rates, binding only in the absence of special 
 contracts for storage, and that merchants and the warehousemen 
 will be hereafter, as heretofore, entirely at liberty to make such 
 bargains in regard to storage as may to them seem good. Your 
 Committee have in almost all cases assented to rates higher than 
 the present actual rates of storage, where there is competition for 
 the business, because special bargains are made in almost all cases 
 where the quantities are large, and for small parcels it is manifestly 
 just that the warehousemen should receive liberal rates, as they are 
 subjected to a higher ratio of expense and more trouble in doing 
 such business. At tlie same time your Committee have endeavored 
 to keep the rates within such moderate limits as will lessen the 
 temptation to organize improper combinations for the general order 
 business, and check the disposition, which has been a subject of just 
 complaint j to hurry goods into public store before the merchant 
 could procure his permits for delivery. Your Committee, in con- 
 clusion, are happy to bear testimony to the earnest desire of the
 
 XV 
 
 representatives of the Custom House to place these revised rates ou 
 11 satisfactory basis, and of the Committee of Warehousemen to 
 meet the just demands of the commerce of this port. 
 
 The following resolution is respectfully submitted for the favora- 
 ble consideration of the Chamber : 
 
 Resolved, That the revised rates of storage and labor herewith 
 submitted, be approved by the Chamber of Commerce, and a copy 
 thereof, duly attested by the President, be forwarded to the Col- 
 lector of the Port of New- York, and recommended to the adoption 
 of the Secretary of the Treasury.

 CARTAGE REGULATIONS. 
 
 APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, NOVEMBER 28, 1870. 
 
 To insure the safe and speedy transportation of bonded merchan- 
 dise, conveyed by carts, drays, or lighters, within the Port of New- 
 York, to facilitate its delivery to the importers or owners, and to 
 regulate the rates of cartage, drayage, or lighterage thereupon, the 
 following regulations are issued, and will take effect November 28, 
 1870: 
 
 I. 
 
 The present " Cartage Districts," having no valid existence, are 
 hereby discontinued. 
 
 II. 
 
 For each line of foreign steamers coming to this port, the Collector 
 will appoint a cartman, who will be required to give bonds for the 
 faithful performance of the work, and who will have general charge 
 of the carting or trucking of dutiable merchandise except as men- 
 tioned in Section VIII. from the vessels of the line. All carting 
 will be done under his supervision, and he will be required to remove 
 the merchandise from the wharf without delay, employing for that 
 purpose as many Custom House carts as may be necessary. 
 
 III. 
 
 The Collector will also appoint one or more cartmen to have 
 charge of the transfer of examined packages from the Appraiser's 
 stores to warehouse, and of packages ordered from warehouse to 
 Appraiser's stores ; and this duty, as well as all business relating to 
 the cartage or drayage of bonded merchandise from one warehouse 
 to another, shall be performed under the general supervision of the 
 Deputy Collector of the Third Division. 
 
 IV. 
 
 The cartage or drayage of merchandise from vessels, other than 
 those of regular foreign steamer lines, will be performed by Custom 
 House cartmen, duly licensed for that purpose. 
 
 V. 
 
 Any merchant, cartman, or truckman, who is duly licensed by the 
 city authorities, upon presenting his said license, producing evidence
 
 19 
 
 of good character, and executing a bond in the sum of $5,000, with 
 two sureties, for the faithful performance of his duty, and taking 
 the usual oath, may be appointed a Custom House cartman. 
 
 VI. 
 
 Each cart, truck, or dray, which may be bonded under these 
 regulations, must be marked in some permanent and conspicuous 
 place, in letters and figures of not less than two inches in length, 
 painted in white letters on a black ground, " Custom House License, 
 No. ." 
 
 VII. 
 
 Before the license aforesaid is issued, the cart or truck to be em- 
 ployed must be brought to the Custom House, there to be inspected 
 by a person appointed for that purpose by the Collector. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 Importers of merchandise will be allowed the privilege of desig- 
 nating the Custom House number of the carts or trucks which they 
 may select to convey merchandise imported by them from vessel to 
 warehouse. Such designation must be made in writing on the back 
 of the warehouse order, before it is delivered to the Inspectors of 
 the vessel ; must be signed by the importer pr his authorized agent, 
 and the city numbers pertaining to the said Custom House numbers 
 shall be added, and the order stamped in the Warehouse Depart- 
 ment.

 another warehouse shall be conveyed by such cart or truck as the 
 importer or owner of the merchandise shall designate, in the same 
 manner as aforesaid. 
 
 X. 
 
 The carts, trucks, or lighters designated by the importer, must be 
 at the vessel ready to take the merchandise when the Inspector is 
 ready to send it ; otherwise, the Inspector, after waiting a reasona- 
 ble time, will send the merchandise to warehouse by any bonded 
 cart, dray, or lighter available for the work. 
 
 XI. 
 
 Merchandise must be removed from the docks as follows : 
 
 First. Public Store Goods. 
 
 Second. Warehouse Goods. 
 
 Third. General Order Goods.

 closing of the stores and warehouses.
 
 20 
 
 XII. 
 
 For every cart or truck load of merchandise taken from any vessel 
 for conveyance to warehouse or store, the discharging Inspector 
 shall make out a ticket in the form prescribed, specifying' the marks, 
 numbers, and description of the packages or merchandise so taken, 
 also the Custom House number of the cart or truck, which ticket 
 shall be delivered to the proper cartman or truckman before the cart 
 or truck leaves the dock. Upon delivery of the merchandise at the 
 designated warehouse or store, the ticket will be signed by the 
 Storekeeper or other officer in charge, and be returned to the cart- 
 man, Avho is required to deliver the said receipt to the Inspector of 
 the vessel without delay.

 stores, are required to receipt for goods when delivered, and to re- 
 turn the receipt to the cartman for delivery to the Inspector. 
 
 XIV. 
 
 
 
 Inspectors are required to see that full loads are taken in all cases, 
 wherever it is practicable to do so, and only one ticket will be fur- 
 nished by the Inspector to the cartman. When a short load is ne- 
 cessarily sent, the Inspector will state the reason why, on the back 
 of the ticket, for the information of the Storekeeper. 
 
 XV.. 
 
 Inspectors are directed not to send merchandise by any cart or 
 truck, unless the receipt for the load previously sent by said cart or 
 truck (if any) has been duly returned.

 REGULATIONS (PART V.) UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE 
 WAREHOUSE LAWS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 OF WAREHOUSES, THEIR CREATION AND GOVERNMENT. 
 
 ARTICLE 1. [421.] Warehouses, in which unclaimed and bonded 
 merchandise shall be stored, will be known and designated as 
 follows : 
 
 CLASS I. Stores owned or hired by the United States. All un- 
 claimed goods must be deposited in these stores when there are such 
 at the port available for the purpose ; and they are also to be used 
 for the storage of other foreign merchandise as hereinafter provided. 
 It is, however, the policy of the government to encourage the use 
 for such purposes of warehouses of class three, and to sustain public 
 stores only at some of the larger ports. Stores of this class may be, 
 in cases of emergency, hired for a temporary purpose, with the ap- 
 proval of the department, at ports Avhere there are no bonded ware- 
 houses of class three. All the labor in these stores shall be per- 
 formed under the superintendence of the officer in charge, at the 
 expense of the owner or importer of the merchandise, and all charges 
 for storage, labor, and other expenses accruing on the goods shall 
 not exceed the regular rates for such objects at the port. 
 
 ART. 2. CLASS II. Warehouses in the possession of an importer, 
 and in his sole occupancy, which he may desire to place under the 
 customs lock, in addition to his own lock, (said locks to be of a dif- 
 ferent character,) for the purpose of storing dutiable merchandise 
 imported by himself, or consigned to him, or purchased by him in 
 bond. 
 
 The entire building shall be appropriated to this sole purpose, 
 under the regulations hereinafter provided ; and for the time of the 
 customs officer necessarily required in attendance at such warehouse 
 the proprietor shall pay, monthly, to the Collector of the port, such 
 sum as the latter may deem proper for the service ; not less, how- 
 ever, than the pay of such officer, or a proper proportion of the same 
 in case one officer has in charge more than one warehouse. All the 
 labor on goods so stored must be performed by the importer at his 
 own expense, under the supervision of the officer in charge. 
 
 Before any importer shall be permitted to use his own warehouse 
 for such purpose, he shall enter into a bond, 
 
 in such sum and with such sureties as may be approved, by the Col- 
 lector and this department.
 
 36 
 
 AKT. 3. In executing the bonds prescribed in this chapter, there 
 must be inserted in the body of the bond the full names of princi- 
 pals and sureties, and their places of residence, including street and 
 number, if in a city, and occupation. The penalty of the bond must 
 be written in words at length, and the premises must be accurately 
 described by street, number, &c. The bond- must be signed by prin- 
 cipals and sureties in the order in which their names appear in the 
 obligation, and if a partnership is a party to the bond, each member 
 must sign it, and the firm must be described in the body of the ob- 
 ligation, thus : A and B, doing business under the style of A, B & 
 Co. If a corporation is a party, the bond must be signed by an offi- 
 cer of the same duly authorized, and accompanied by evidence of 
 such authority, and sealed with the corporate seal, and the corpora- 
 tion must be described in the body of the obligation by its legal 
 designation. If there be no seal, that fact must be certified. If any 
 of the signatures are by attorney, the original power in due form 
 must be filed at the Custom House, and a certified copy sent^with 
 the copy of the bond to the department. The bond must bear the 
 proper internal revenue stamp, and must have appended to it an 
 affidavit, sworn or affirmed before the Collector or his deputy, and 
 signed by the sureties in the form following, viz. : 
 
 FOEM No. 2. 
 Surety's Oath. 
 
 I, , residing at [street and number^] in , State of 
 
 , a surety on the within bond, do solemnly swear that I am. 
 
 a citizen of the United States, and that I am worth the sum of 
 
 dollars over and above all debts, claims, and liabilities of every na- 
 ture whatsoever, in property unencumbered and liable to execution. 
 
 POET or , day of , 18 . 
 
 Personally appeared before me, at the time and place above writ- 
 ten, the said , known to me to be the identical person named 
 
 as surety in the annexed bond, and subscribed and made oath 
 [or affirmation'] to the foregoing. 
 
 , Collector. 
 
 ART. 4. CLASS III. Warehouses in the occupancy of persons de- 
 siring to engage in the business of storing dutiable merchandise 
 under the warehouse acts, and of performing the labor on such goods, 
 in what is usually termed the storage business. 
 
 Warehouses of this class shall be used solely for the storage of 
 warehoused goods and of unclaimed and seized goods, when ordered 
 by the Collector, and shall consist of an entire building. 
 
 All the labor on the goods deposited in these warehouses must be 
 performed by the owner or occupant of the warehouse ; and the 
 warehouse shall be subject to such further rules as this department 
 may deem necessary, from time to time, for the safe keeping of the
 
 goods, and protection of the revenue, and to be discontinued as a 
 bonded warehouse when the public interest may require. All ar- 
 rangements, as regards the rates of storage and the price of labor on 
 bonded goods in these warehouses, must be made between the im- 
 porter and the owner or occupant of the warehouse ; and all amounts 
 due for storage and labor must be collected by the latter, the Col- 
 lector looking to the safe custody of the merchandise only for the 
 security of the revenue. 
 
 Before any goods can be deposited in a warehouse of this descrip- 
 tion, the owner or occupant of the same shall enter into bond 
 
 , in such sum, and with such 
 
 sureties, as may be approved by the Collector and this department. 
 ****** * 
 
 ART. 5. Unclaimed and seized goods shall be received in ware- 
 houses of this class on the order of the Collector, and the proprietor 
 or owner thereof shall be liable for the safe keeping of the merchan- 
 dise as for other goods ; and all charges for labor, storage and other 
 expenses shall not exceed, in any case, the regular rates for such 
 objects at the port in question. In cases where differences of 
 opinion shall arise as to the correctness of the charges so made, the 
 decision of the Collector, or chief revenue officer of the port, shall be 
 binding on both parties. The Collector shall enforce no permit to 
 withdraw such goods without payment of the charges so assessed, 
 and, if sold, shall cause the storage and charges to be paid out of 
 the proceeds of the sale. 
 
 Each warehouse shall be placed in charge of an officer of the 
 customs, under the separate and different locks of the Custom House 
 and of the owner or occupant acting as agent for the importers ware- 
 housing their merchandise in such stores. Should the amount of 
 business at any one warehouse require, in the judgment of the Col- 
 lector, the services of more than one officer, such additional officers 
 may be assigned ; the owner or occupant shall be required to pay, 
 monthly, such sum as will be equivalent to the salary of all such 
 officers, and to provide a suitable office for their accommodation. 
 
 AKT. 6. CLASS IV. For the storage of wood, coal, mahogany, 
 dye woods, lumber, molasses, sugar in hogsheads and tierces, rail- 
 road, pig and bar iron, anchors, chain cables, and other articles 
 specially authorized, yards or sheds of suitable construction may be 
 used, to be bonded in the manner hereinbefore prescribed. These 
 yards must be inclosed by substantial fences, not less than twelve 
 feet in height, with gates provided with suitable bars and other 
 fastenings, so as to admit of being secured by customs locks, and 
 must be used exclusively for the storage of the above-named mer- 
 chandise duly entered for warehousing by the owner or occupant, 
 or for the purpose of general storage of warehoused goods ; the pur- 
 pose to be set forth in the application, and the bond to be taken 
 accordingly, as in case of warehouses of the second and third classes. 
 The sheds must be substantially constructed, with or without floor- 
 ing or roofing, as this department and the Collector may require ; 
 and when required, the roof or exterior shall be covered with slate, 
 metal, or other fire-proof material. The doors and other openings
 
 3b 
 
 must be provided with suitable fastenings, and be secured by the 
 different and separate locks of the occupant and the customs; and 
 the occupant shall provide a proper room for the use of the officer 
 in charge. Collectors of the customs may order unclaimed and 
 seized merchandise, of the description herein authorized to be de- 
 posited in sheds or yards, bonded for general storage, to be placed 
 in such sheds or yards under the same regulations and conditions 
 as are provided for the deposit of unclaimed or seized goods in ware- 
 houses of class No. 3. 
 
 ART. 7. CLASS V. In pursuance of the provisions of section 37, 
 act July 18, 186G, bins, ov parts of warehouses or elevators may be 
 bonded, as of class 2 or class 3, for the storage of grain. The 
 bonded portions must be separated from the rest of the building, 
 and all openings and entrances properly secured, as in other cases. 
 
 $:):$$ # * * 
 
 ART. 8. CLASS VI. [421, 422.] Cellars or vaults may be used, 
 under the conditions hereinafter prescribed, as bonded warehouses 
 of class 2, for the storage of wines and distilled spirits only. 
 
 The entire cellar or vault shall be appropriated to this purpose, 
 and shall have no opening or entrance except the one from the street 
 on which the separate and different locks of the customs and the 
 owner or proprietor of the cellar shall be placed ; and a bond shall 
 be entered into by the owner according to the foregoing form, for 
 warehouses of class 2. 
 
 One officer may have in charge as many cellars as in the judg- 
 ment of the Collector he can superintend efficiently, not exceeding 
 three, unless specially assented to by the department. The salary 
 of the officer in charge shall be paid monthly to the Collector by the 
 owner or occupant. 
 
 ART. 9. [423.] "Where a single officer has charge of more than one 
 warehouse of the second class, or more than one cellar or vault, the 
 amount to be contributed by each will be determined by the Col- 
 lector. 
 
 ART. 10. [424.] Whenever it is desired to have any building con- 
 stituted a private bonded warehouse of the second and third classes, 
 the owner or occupant shall make application in writing to the 
 Collector or other chief customs officer of the port, describing the 
 premises, the location and capacity of the same, and setting forth 
 the purpose for which the building is proposed to be used, whether 
 for the storage of merchandise imported or consigned to himself 
 exclusively, or for the general storage of merchandise in bond. This 
 application, to entitle it to consideration, must be accompanied by 
 a certificate duly stamped, signed by the president or secretary of a 
 board of fire underwriters, where such board exists, and at other 
 ports by the proper officers or agents of two or more specified insur- 
 ance companies, that the building offered is a first-class warehouse, 
 according to the classification of insurance offices at that port. The 
 Collector shall, thereupon, direct the superintendent of warehouses, 
 or other officer discharging the duties of such superintendent, to 
 examine and inspect the premises, and to report in writing the par- 
 ticulars in relation to the location, construction, and dimensions of
 
 39 
 
 the building, the means provided for securing custody of the mer- 
 chandise which may be deposited in the same, and all other facts 
 having a bearing on the subject. On the receipt of this report the 
 Collector shall transmit the same to this department, together with 
 the application of the party and the insurance certificates, and a 
 statement of his own views and opinion, in which should be em- 
 braced his certificate as to whether or not the business of the port 
 demands the establishment of the warehouse as proposed. If the 
 reports be satisfactory, and it appear that the public interest will 
 be subserved thereby, the application will be granted ; whereupon 
 the owner or occupant will be required to enter into bond in the 
 form prescribed! in such penalty, and with such security, as the Col- 
 lector may deem proper. A certified copy of this bond will be for- 
 warded to the department, with a statement as to the sufficiency of 
 the penalty and the responsibility of the obligors, for its approval ; 
 which having been signified to the Collector, the building may be 
 considered a duly constituted bonded warehouse. 
 
 Applications for the bonding of warehouses of the fourth, fifth and 
 sixth classes will be made in a similar manner and under like regu- 
 lations ; except that in the sixth class the insurance certificate shall 
 relate to the building over the cellar ; and in regard to warehouses 
 of the fourth and fifth classes it shall certify that the contents will 
 be insured at the lowest rates applicable to that class of buildings. 
 
 ART. 11. [425, 427.] The warehouses described in the second and 
 third classes will be required, previous to their being used for the 
 storage of bonded goods, to have such fastenings on the doors and 
 windows as the Collector may deem requisite for the security of the 
 property ; and must be separated from adjoining buildings by a 
 brick or stone wall, in which no door or other opening will be 
 permitted. 
 
 After warehouses have been approved and placed under customs 
 lock, the Collector will retain the right of ordering additional fas- 
 tenings, to be provided by, and at the expense of, the owners or 
 occupants having charge of the premises. 
 
 AET. 12. [426.] In classes Nos. 2 and 3, an office for the accommo- 
 dation of the owner or occupant may be allowed ; but such office 
 must be separated by a permanent partition from the rest of the 
 store, so that the owner shall have no access to the goods, except in 
 the presence of the officer, who must be allowed such use of the 
 office as may be necessary for him in making his daily return of 
 receipts, deliveries and examinations. 
 
 ART. 13. [428.] Should the owner or occupant of any bonded 
 warehouse neglect or refuse to pay to the Collector the sum required 
 by these instructions for the compensation of an officer or officers, 
 as the case may be, or fail or refuse to comply with any law regu- 
 lating the storage of merchandise, or any rules or regulations issued 
 by this department or by the Collector for the safety of the goods 
 stored, or governing the rates of storage chargeable on unclaimed 
 goods, the Collector shall refuse permission to deposit goods in such 
 warehouse, and report the facts at once to this department for its 
 further action.
 
 40 
 
 AIIT. 14. [429.] The proprietors or occupants of bonded ware- 
 houses, on ten days' notice from the Collector, may l>e required to 
 renew their bonds ; and if they fail so to do, no more goods shall 
 be sent to their warehouses, and those within the same shall be re- 
 moved at their expense. And the proprietor or occupant of any 
 such warehouse shall have the right to relinquish the business at 
 any time on giving timely notice to the owners of the merchandise 
 deposited therein, and to the Collector, and paying the expense of 
 the removal of the goods to other warehouses. 
 
 The date of discontinuance will be endorsed on the bond, which 
 will be retained at the Custom House. 
 
 AKT. 15. In all cases of the discontinuance of a bonded warehouse 
 of any class, it is the duty of the Collector to notify the Secretary of 
 the Treasury immediately, with the date and cause. The Collector 
 must also exercise vigilant oversight upon the solvency of the bonds 
 given for warehouses, and promptly notify the department of the 
 death or pecuniary embarrassment or insolvency of any of the par- 
 ties, and of any circumstances which make it advisable to require a 
 new bond. New bonds must in all cases be given when a ware- 
 house passes into the hands of new principals, as where changes 
 take place in partnerships. Alterations in warehouses after being 
 bonded can be made only by permission from the Collector, and, if 
 of such a character as to make any material change in the premises, 
 previous permission must be procured from the department. It is 
 the duty of the Collector to advise the department of all changes in 
 the surroundings of bonded premises likely to affect their security. 
 If bonded premises are burned, or otherwise destroyed, immediate 
 notice, with full particulars, must be commuuicated by the Collector 
 to the department, and the facts endorsed on the bond. If such 
 premises are rebuilt, they cannot be used as a bonded warehouse 
 unless bonded anew ; the same is true of warehouses for any cause 
 discontinued. 
 
 ART. 16. [542,543.] The storage charged on goods deposited in 
 the public stores must be the usual rate at that port. The charges 
 for labor at these stores must be at a rate that will remunerate the 
 Government. Collectors failing to demand and receive the amounts 
 due for the storage and labor accruing in public stores, or the pay 
 of officers in charge of bonded warehouses, will be charged with 
 such sums in their accounts by the Commissioner of Customs, whose 
 attention has been specially directed to these instructions. 
 
 All moneys received by Collectors from owners or occupants of 
 private bonded warehouses in payment for officers in attendance at 
 the premises, and all sums received for storage and other expenses 
 in public stores, must be accounted for in their accounts with this 
 department, and be certified by the naval officer, if any ; to enable 
 that officer to give such certificate, all permits having amounts to 
 be received for storage, &c., must be presented to him ; and he will 
 keep a daily record of such amounts to be paid to the cashier or 
 other collecting officer. 
 
 ART. 17. [544,545.] No fire must be permitted in any warehouse,
 
 41 
 
 except in the business office attached thereto ; and where lights are 
 required, lanterns must be used such as are in use in naval vessels. 
 
 The Collector will cause the regulations of the department in re- 
 ference to the management and daily government of warehouses, 
 with such other rules as he may deem necessary to carry the same 
 into effect, to be placed in a conspicuous place in each warehouse. 
 
 OF THE OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF WAREHOUSES. 
 
 ART. 18. [516,517.] All bonded warehouses, whether public or 
 private, as well as the stores occupied by the appraisers, where 
 there are such, will be placed by the Collector in the custody of offi- 
 cers designated for the purpose, to be known as storekeepers, who 
 will always keep the keys thereof in their own possession, and per- 
 sonally superintend the opening and closing of the doors and win- 
 dows. They will be required to be in constant attendance at the 
 stores from seven o'clock, A. M., to sunset from April 1 to October 1, 
 and for the residue of the year from eight o'clock, A. M., to sunset, 
 except at the time necessary for their meals, not over one hour at 
 noon, when the stores will be closed. 
 
 They will not suffer any goods to be received, delivered, sam- 
 pled, packed or repacked, except in their presence or the presence of 
 some person designated as an assistant by the Collector, nor with- 
 out a written order from such Collector. They will keep accurate 
 accounts of all goods received, delivered, and transferred, and of all 
 orders for sampling, packing, repacking, &c. They will also make 
 daily returns of all goods received and delivered, and will inform 
 the Collector, or warehouse superintendent, if there be one, of any 
 infraction of the warehouse rules and regulations by inspectors or 
 
 other persons. 
 
 *********** 
 
 ART. 21. [519.] Officers in charge of warehouses of any class will 
 not be permitted to receive any reward or gratuity from any source 
 in addition to their pay from the United States. Such is the pro- 
 vision of the seventy-third section of act of 1799, which Collectors 
 will rigidly enforce. 
 
 ART. 22. [520.] No officer shall be allowed to have under his 
 charge more than one warehouse of any class used for general 
 storage ; and it shall be the duty of .the Collector at least once a 
 year (or as much oftener as he may deem requisite) to transfer the 
 officers in charge of bonded warehouses from one warehouse to 
 another, thus preventing any officer having charge of any one ware- 
 house for a longer period than one year. The officer so transferred 
 shall furnish the Collector with an inventory of the goods in such 
 warehouse; and it shall be the duty of his successor, immediately 
 on taking charge, to examine the goods to see if they agree with 
 the inventory ; and the result of this examination shall be communi- 
 cated to the Collector within ten days from the date of his taking 
 charge. Should any discrepancies be found between the statement 
 of the officer transferred and the inventory taken, the collector will 
 immediately investigate the case, at the same time reporting the 
 facts to this department. 
 
 5
 
 42 
 
 ART. 23. [-514.] In all ports where the nature and extent of busi- 
 ness may require such an officer, the Collector shall designate, with 
 the approbation of this department, some suitable person to be styled 
 the superintendent of warehouses, whose duty it shall be to superin- 
 tend all the public stores and bonded warehouses in such ports, 
 visiting them daily where their number will admit, or, if not, as 
 often as may be, to ascertain whether the officers are prompt and 
 regular in their attendance, the books correctly kept, the merchan- 
 dise properly stored, and all the regulations prescribed by this 
 department and the Collector faithfully observed and diligently en- 
 forced. It shall also be his duty, when required by the Collector, 
 to examine and inspect such premises as may be offered as bonded, 
 warehouses, and make report* thereon to the Collector; and gene- 
 rally to perform such duties in relation to the care of the warehouses, 
 and the custody of the goods deposited therein, as may be necessary 
 to their security and the protection of the revenue. 
 
 ART. 24. [515.] He will also superintend, with the officer of the 
 store or warehouse, all silks withdrawn for printing, dyeing, &c., as 
 hereinafter provided, taking an account of the same. And it shall 
 be the duty of the person or persons withdrawing such goods for 
 dyeing, &c., to notify the Collector, that the superintendent may 
 be present at the place and time required. Such superintendent 
 shall be stationed where most convenient, and shall be required to 
 make a daily report to the Collector of every violation of the ware- 
 house instructions and rules, and of all other matters coming under 
 his observation. It is intended that this officer, under the directions 
 of the Collector, shall have a general supervision of the warehouse 
 business in the several warehouses, to see that the laws and regula- 
 tions are faithfully observed by the officers in charge of each, and 
 by the importer or agent having joint custody. 
 
 ART. 25. Pie will also be charged with the supervision of the 
 cartage, drayage or lighterage of all merchandise sent to warehouse 
 under bond, or withdrawn therefrom for exportation, and also the 
 cartage, drayage or lighterage of all merchandise ordered to the 
 Appraiser's office for examination or to the public stores for custody, 
 and will take care that the work is promptly and faithfully per- 
 formed, that the necessary receipts for merchandise are returned in 
 due season to the officers sending or delivering the same, and that 
 the regulations for the government of this branch of the service are 
 in all respects complied with, and every infraction of the same 
 promptly reported to the Collector. 
 
 ART. 26. [563.] The Deputy Collector, who. shall be designated 
 by the Collector to take general superintendence of the warehouse 
 business, shall be deemed ex officio storekeeper of the port. The 
 warehouse superintendent and storekeepers at the several stores, 
 with the clerks employed on the store accounts,. and on the ware- 
 house business generally, shall be under his immediate directions ; 
 subject, however, to the control and supervision of the Collectonof 
 the Port. 
 
 ***** 
 
 ART. 39. [546.] All merchandise in public store or bonded ware-
 
 43 
 
 liouse, duly entered for warehousing, may be examined at any time 
 during the business hours of the port by the importer, consignee, 
 or agent, who shall have liberty to take samples of his goods in 
 reasonable quantities, according to the usage of the port ; make all 
 needful repairs of packages, and to repack the goods if necessary 
 for their safety or preservation, provided their original contents are 
 placed in the new packages, and the original marks and numbers 
 placed thereon, in the mode prescribed in the 75th section of the act 
 of 2d March, 1799, and 32d section of the act of 1st March, 1823. But 
 no samples shall be taken, nor any goods exhibited or examined, 
 unless on written order of the Collector, countersigned by the naval 
 officer, under the immediate supervision of an officer of the customs, 
 and by order of the importer, owner, or consignee, and at his ex- 
 pense; nor shall any package be repaired, or goods repacked, with- 
 out a written order from the Collector of the port, countersigned by 
 the naval officer, which will be granted only when the same is ne- 
 cessary for the present safety or preservation of the contents. 
 Goods imported in bulk, and not in present danger of deterioration, 
 cannot under these provisions be placed in packages, while in ware- 
 house, for the convenience of the owner, even though he may design 
 to export them under circumstances such that if not so packed they 
 cannot reach their destination in safety. 
 
 ART. 40. The 21st section of the act of July 14, 1862, provides that 
 " all drugs, medicines, and chemical preparations, entered for ex- 
 portation and deposited in warehouse or public store, may be ex- 
 ported by the owner or owners thereof in the original package, or 
 otherwise, subject to such regulations as shall be prescribed by the 
 Secretary of the Treasury. 
 
 Whenever the owner or owners, or consignees, desire to export 
 any drugs, medicines, or chemical preparations, otherwise than in 
 the original packages, written application for such export must be 
 made by him or them to the Collector of the port where the drugs, 
 medicines, and chemical preparations maybe; such application to 
 specify the name of the article proposed to be exported, and, if less 
 than the entire package the quantity thereof, and the kind of pack- 
 age in which it is proposed to make the export, whether a box, 
 chest, bag, or bale, and also to give the name of the vessel in which 
 the original importation was made and the date thereof. 
 
 Upon such application the Collector will make the proper indorse- 
 ment, directing the opening of the original package and the re- 
 packing of so much as may be specified in the application ; and the 
 package so made up shall be marked and numbered in the same

 OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS FOB FREIGHT. 
 
 ART. 142. Persons claiming a lien for freight upon imported goods 
 in the possession of a Collector, or other chief officer of the customs, 
 must serve upon him a written or printed notice, signed by the lien 
 claimant, and designating particularly the goods, packages, marks, 
 numbers and brands; the warehouse in which the same is stored ; 
 the names of the owners, importers or consignees, and of the vessel 
 by which the goods were imported, or, if brought by land, the na- 
 ture of the vehicle carrying them, and the route ; the date of arrival 
 of the goods, and the amount claimed. 
 
 This notice must be signed by the lien claimant, or his agent duly 
 authorized, and filed at the Custom House, and must be verified by 
 affidavit as follows : 
 
 FORM No. 68. 
 
 I, , do solemnly swear [or affirm] that the facts set 
 
 forth in the annexed notice are true as alleged ; and that the sum 
 claimed therein is still due, and was a legal subsisting lien upon the 
 goods therein described at the time the same passed into the custody 
 of the customs officers.

 , Collector. 
 
 A record book or docket will be provided in which shall be imme- 
 diately entered an abstract or minute of every such notice received. 
 This book shall have an alphabetical index in which to enter the 
 names of the owners, consignees or importers, and also the names of 
 the vessels. The notices themselves will be numbered consecutively 
 and carefully preserved. 
 
 The usual lee of twenty cents will be charged for verifying the 
 oath attached to the notice, which must be paid to the Collector^ 
 and by him accounted for as other fees. 
 
 The authority and duty of the Collector extends simply to refuse 
 to deliver goods covered by such a notice until satisfied that the 
 debt thus claimed and verified has been paid or secured. He has 
 no authority to deliver the goods to the lien claimant, nor to adju- 
 dicate disputes respecting the validity of the claim, nor to recognise 
 any other lien than that for freight.
