SOERABAIA
has
Soerabaia, situated 112°
situated 112° 44′ E. longitude and 7 14 S. latitude, 142,980 inhabitants, of whom 6,988 are Europeans. The voyage from Batavia to Soerabaia can be done in two days by the railway, which extends to Probolinggo. The old city is not like that of Batavia, deserted during the night, but is the most busy part of the place. The fortifications that were built at enormous expense are now partially demolished. The roadstead is very safe and protected by the island of Madoera, and trade is in a flourishing condition, the godowns near the Oedjoeng being in direct communication by rail with the large railway that extends all over the island to Semarang and Batavia. Government workshops and private manufactories do very much to increase the welfare of the industrious population, among whom are a great many Dutchmen employed by the artillery establishments. Between the Kali Mas and the floating dock are the naval establishments for the construction and repairing of ships and vessels, machinery, boilers, etc., etc.
A great many Europeans are still residing in the old city, though the outer part is preferred and has the reputation of being healthier, while the houses are not built close to each other but are separated by gardens. The suburb Simpang is especially well known. Here is situated the house of the Resident and the well-known large hospital. Along the Genteng Road, which forms the communication with Soerabaia, several fine houses are built in European style and surrounded by shady gardens.
