TSINAN
I
Tsinan, the capital of the province of Shantung, has the distinction of being the first city in the Chinese Empire in which a Foreign Commercial Settlement was voluntarily opened by the Government of China. The date, of its inauguration was January 10th, 1906. Within the area of this Settle- ment, which lies outside the West Gate of Tsinan city, foreign merchants are allowed to reside and trade and lease land; the leases are for terms of thirty years, renewable for a similar term. The control of the Settlement is vested in a Municipal Administration presided over by a Mayor appointed by the Nationalist Government. The city of Tsinan lies to the South of a range of hills (Lat. 36 deg. 50 min. N.; Long. 117 deg. E.), and slopes gradually upwards from North to South. Situated in the south-west suburb are magnificent springs giving forth many tons of water per minute, and the streams from these natural fountains flow through the city to a lake situated on the north side. This abundance of water tends to make Tsinan one of the cleanest as weil as one of the healthiest cities in the Republic. The population was computed by the chief of Police at the end of May, 1933, to be about 428,011, about one-twentieth of whom situated on the north side, forming the head waters of the "Hsiao Ching Ho" Small) Clear River), which flows north-east to the sea. This abundance of water tends to make Tsinan one of the cleanest as well as one of the healthiest cities in the Republic. The Chinese population was computed by the chief of Police at the end of October, 1940, to be 516,082, about one-twentieth of whom profess the Mohammedan faith, and Japanese civilians, 11,000. Quite a considerable number of foreigners and foreign institutions have established themselves in the Foreign Settlement, and several have erected large and imposing buildings. The chief of these are the _British Consulate-General, the Japanese Consulate-General, the German Consulate General, the American Consulate, Japanese hospital and the Chinese Post Office and several banks. Residential buildings are also rapidly being constructed. There is quite a boom in the building of small houses which are occupied by Chinese and numbers of Japanese (24,000 in 1940). In addition to these, large buildings have been erected outside the south suburb of the city for the Shantung Christian University incorporat- ed by charter from the Canadian Government. The Hospital of the Medical College, which is a department of this University, has completed a large new unit during the summer of 1935. The Tientsin-Pukow Railway Co. owns a large piece of ground in the Settlement, and has built offices and dwelling-houses for members of the staff thereon.
