CEBU
miles from Cebu, were completed in 1922 and have a capacity of 2,000 barrels a day, which is more not enough to supply the Philippines, and plans are on foot so to increase the capacity to 4,000 barrels per day.
Cebu continues to grow in importance as a trade centre. Vessels drawing up to 28 feet can load alongside the wharves with perfect safety. There are suitable berths for eight ocean-going vessels at one time. Owing to the increaae of steamers making Cebu a regular port of call, additional wharfage area has been constructed. Pier No. 1 has now been completed and is equipped with a fine cargo shed, two vessels drawing up to 26 feet can be berthed with safety. Pier No. 2 has also been completed and is constructed on the same lines as Pier No. 1. Pier No. 3 completed but without a shed and will cater mostly for local vessels. Besides the foregoing there are private wharves belonging to the Philippine Refining Corporation, Standard Oil Co., Asiatic Petroleum Co., and Texas Oil Co. (Philippines), Inc. The annual total production of hemp in the Cebu district is between 35,000 and 45,000 tons. The production of copra is important. Large quantities of copra are exported, 275,000 to 300,000 tons annually; previously, the local oil-mills bought up practically all available supplies, but now only the Philippine Refining Company is running. The town possesses a fine reinforced con- crete Customs House, indeed, the major portion of the business district is now built of concrete. Work on the new reclamation scheme is completed and has added a large area to the water-front for warehouses, many of which have been completed and others are under construction. A fine new Capitol Building at a cost of P500,000 is now in use and is the finest building anywhere in the Islands outside of Manila.
