SOERABAJA
gauge so-called tramway of the usual width of 3 feet 6 inches (1.067 m.), having, however, the capacity of an ordinary railway with limited speed. Government workshops and private manufactories do very much to increase the welfare of the industrious popula tion, among whom are a great many Dutchmen employed by the artillery establish- ments. 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 Soerabaja, several fine houses are built in European style and surrounded by shady gardens.
