LOS EDIFICIOS DE LA ADUANA Y DE LA JUNTA DEL PUERTO DE LONDRES
EL PORTO DE LONDRES
La Junta del Puerto de Londres es un organismo independiente del control del Gobierno y del Municipio. De sus miembros, unos son designados
por departamentos gubernamentales y corporaciones públicas, y los demás son elegidos por los navieros, comerciantes y otros usuarios del
puerto. Los derechos y gravámenes impuestos por la Junta tienen por objeto la obtención de ingresos suficientes para cubrir los gastos de
conservación y funcionamiento, y el page de intereses fijos. La finalidad perseguida por la Junta es suministrar el mejor servicio por el
menor coste a todos cuantos utilizan el puerto. El prestigio de que mundialmente goza ese organismo por la eficacia de su gestión no ha
sido superado por ninguna otra autoridad portuaria. La ilustración presenta un barco anclado junto al muelle de Hay, y, al fondo, los
edificios de la Aduana y de la Junta del Puerto de Londres.

Public Bodies, and elected representatives of Shipowners, Merchants and other users of the Port. The Port Authority's rates and charges are
