is pasted on the baggage when not delivered within twentyfour hours. Upon delivery, charges are computed, and storage receipt issued, distinct foreign and local forms being used (Forms 4 and 13). Storage stamps which are invoiced to the baggage agents, are attached for the amount due. Other companies attach a special storage check or tag to the baggage, one portion of which is immediately sent to the Auditor of Passenger Receipts, while another portion, containing a table of charges, is punched and sent to him at the time of delivery to the passenger, and a third is given to the passenger as a receipt.
