It has been decided to construct a new basin a little to the south of and running parallel with the present basin at a cost of Yen 10,000,000 which will accommodate vessels up to 0,000 tons. Surrounding the present basin are large warehouses suffi- cient to handle the trade.
The inner harbour is gradually being dredged to a depth of 26 feet 1. w.s. 1936 marks the fiftieth anniversary of opening of the Jinsen harbour. In this connection the plan for expanding wards of Jinsen municipal administration was put into force on October 1. As result seven villages adjoining Jinsen municipality has been in- corporated into the municipality. This means Jinsen municipality now covers 1,760 square ri in area or four times the area before enforcement of the plan with a popul- ation of 19,000 households with 93,000 members showing an increase by 2,000 in the former and 2,300 in latter.
