SEA AND AIR CENTRE FOR
NAVY AND COMMERCE.
Although it has been in the hands of the "Admiralty for about three years, Seletar, the site of the Singa. pore naval base, looks to-day no more like a naval base than a mid- dle reach of the Thames and prob- ably it is far less busy, writes the Singapore correspondent of the Daily News.
Seletar is 15 miles from Singa- pore, on the northeast side of the island, and is reached only by road -a good road most of the way, but very indifferent in parts. It is 10. or 12 miles from the eastern end of the strait which separates Binge- pore island from the mainland of Johore, and is approached by sea only from the east, although small native craft may go through the lock to the west of the causeway carrying the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Penang railway.
