SAIGON
Saigon River (half way to the town). They are said to be large enough to receive over 400,000 cases. The agents of Messrs. Samuel and Co., of London, have built two petroleum tanks at Nhabé at the point where the Saigon River flows into the Donnaï. The largest of these is estimated to receive 2,300 cubic metres (81,190 cubic feet) of oil. There are (without reckoning the troops) about 3,500 Europeans and about 180 foreigners, of whom there are about 40 British subjects (Europeans and descendants of Europeans).
The M. M. steamers call twice a month at Saigon on their homeward and outward trips. Easy communication is afforded with the principal towns of the territory either by subsidized mail steamers, or railway. There is a railway with Chaudoc, Bien Hoa and beyond, and with Hoc Mon. The bridge of Binh-Loi was inaugurated on the 8th of March, 1902, over the river of Saigon, putting in direct communication the two rives des fleurs. It is a swing bridge and is of a total length of 276 mêtres supported by 6 piles (en maçonnerie et à 2-culées). All the principal towns of Cochin-China possess telegraphic communication, and a submarine cable unites the colony with Singapore, Hongkong, Haiphong, Amoy. &c. The postal organization of the Colony is very complete and efficient; correspondence can be sent daily to almost all parts of the country. The Journal Officiel is published twice a week, and there are usually one or two other journals published, but they frequently change their titles, and lead a spasmodic existence. The Gia-dinh-bao is the native issue of the Journal Officiel.
