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.

A great many Europeans are still residing in the old city, though the outer part 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 tine houses are built in European style and surrounded by shady gardens.
