Electric All the lighting and motive power required in the free port is lighting and supplied from the central electric station. Powerful electric motive power, lamps will be provided on the quays, arranged in such a manner that they can be carried into the holds of ships when it is required to load or unload at night. Authorities The foregoing description of the free port and its buildings has consulted. been drawn almost exclusively from an official article in the "Dansk Söfartstidende," and from my own observations on the spot. The Plates are from those given in a pamphlet entitled Köbenhavns Frihavnsanlæg, by Herr, Möller, superintendent of the building works connected with the port. I am indebted to the editor of “Transport ” for permission to make use of tlie map of the free port (a reduction of tlie official one), published in that periodical on November 9, and I have here and there been much assisted by tlie clear statements contained in the article which accompanied it. My special thanks are due to Mr. Jensen, British Pro-Consul at Copenhagen, for invaluable assistance in the translations. Mucli help on particular points has also been given me by Port-Captain Lüders, Herr Thielsen, managing director of the Free Port Company, and Mr. Jolran Hansen of tlie firm of C. K. Hansen and Co. To all tlie above I have to express my grateful thanks. NOTE.—I have taten pains to be as accurate and clear as possible throughout tins report, but I fear that my lack of special knowledge may at times have led me to employ words and terms (especially in tlie appendices) which may not be the proper technical expressions. If I have erred in this respect, I shall be very glad to afford any additional information in my power in cases where the information here given appears incomplete or insufficiently clear.—V.E.H.C.
