NAGASAKI
centre the place is rapidly developing, and since 1889 several large ocean-going vessels have been launched there.` Several large vessels built at the yard were com pleted for sea in 1910, including a large turbine steamer of 13,377 tons. The waterworks, owing to the growth of the town, were found to be insufficient for its wants and a large extension of the works was completed in March, 1904. The reservoirs hold 405,240,000 gallons, and there are three filter beds and a service reservoir. The railway develop- ments of recent years have made it possible, with a brief sea passage of ten minutes, between Moji and Shimonoseki, to travel by rail from Nagasaki to Kobe and thence to Tokyo. The climate in Nagasaki is mild and salubrious, and there are several very popular health resorts in the neighbourhood, the most famous being Mount Unzen, on which an excellent nine-hole Golf course was laid out in 1911.
In 1910 the imports were valued at Yen 8,918,907, while exports amounted to Yen 3,303,959
Though the foreign trade has fallen off considerably, the population of the port has increased greatly. In December, 1910, it was returned as 178,074, nearly double what it was fifteen years ago. The foreign population, exclusive of Chinese, was 357. The Chinese number about 788. An English newspaper, the Nagasaki Press, is published daily.
