MACASSAR
Macassar, the capital of Celebes and Dependencies, is situated 119° 24' E. longitude and 5° 8' S. latitude. The population numbered in 1920 about 60,000, of whom about 3,000 were of European origin, 10,000 of Chinese origin, 250 Arabs, 150 other foreign Orientals, and 46,600 natives, without the floating population of native coolies working in the docks, which is rather important.
་
As the principal centre of trade in the north-eastern part of the Archipelago, the place has great importance as a transit port. There is an old wharf 510 metres long (the Wilhelminakade), with custom-houses and godowns for general use and a new concrete quay about 1,400 metres in length (the Julianakade), where the steamship companies have their own waterfront, godowns and offices. The northern end of the waterfront is connected by a highway, several kilometres long, with the business quarters and warehouses. A fifth extension of the harbour is planned. A breakwater 2,700 metres long protects the harbour from rough seas. Macassar has been closed as a free port since August, 1906. The town is nicely built. A fine thoroughfare, lined with tamarind trees, traverses the principal part, where the Government House and other public buildings are situated, and leads on both sides to large grass-covered squares- the Koningsplein and Kerkplein. A business centre consists of Passar Street
