SEMARANG
Semarang, the capital of the "Provincie" Midden Java is situated in 110° 25′ E. Longtitude and 6° L. Latitude. The population of Semarang numbered in 1930 12,577 Europeans, 29,780 foreign Orientals, and 175,418 natives; total 217,775. The city may be divided in two parts, the old part situated near the coast consisting principally of a native population, and a district a little higher up inhabited mostly by Europeans, whilst there is also an attractive suburb called Tjandi situated on the hills about 500 feet above sea level, which lies some two miles to the South of the town. Situated in Bodjong which is the main street running through the town are the Courts of Justice, various Government Offices and the principal European shops.
The port of Semarang is an open roadstead, but as fine weather usually prevails, loading is only interrupted on a very few days in the year.
Railway facilities are good and extend to Sourabaya, Batavia and Soerakarta from whence they link up with the main line through the Island. There are also light railways to the up country districts; whilst the main motor roads are remarkably good. Semarang also possesses an up-to-date aerodrome.
