SOERABAJA

"De Tabaksplant"

Soerabaja, situated 112° 44′ E. longitude and 7° 14' S. latitude, had on the 31st Dec, 1905, 150,193 inhabitants, of whom 8,063 are Europeans, 14,843 Chinese, 2,482 Arabs, 337 other foreign Orientals, and 124,473 natives. The voyage from Batavia to Soerabaja can be done in two days by the railway, which extends to Panaroekan on the North coast and to Banjoewangi on the East coast. The old city is not like that of Batavia, deserted during the night, but is the most busy part of the place. The fortifications that were built at enormous expense are now partially demolished. The roadstead is very safe and pro- tected by the island of Madoera, and trade is in a flourishing condition, the godowns near the Oedjoeng being in direct communication by rail with the large railway that extends all over the island to Semarang and Batavia. A steam tramway for passenger traffic ex- tends from south to north, also as far to the south-west as Krian. A second connection by rail to Samarang was opened on the 1st of February, 1903, this line being a narrow gauge so-called tramway of the usual width of 3 feet 6 inches (1.067 m.), having, however, the capacity of an ordinary railway with limited speed. Government workshops and private manufactories do very much to increase the welfare of the industrious popula tion, among whom are a great many Dutchmen employed by the artillery establish ments. Between the Kali Mas and the floating dock are the naval establishments for the construction and repairing of ships and vessels, machinery, boilers, etc., etc.

A great many Europeans are still residing in the old city, though the outer part is preferred and has the reputation of being healthier, while the houses are not buil close to each other, but are separated by gardens. The suburb Simpang is especially well known. Here is situated the house of the Resident and the well-known large hospital Along the Genteng Road, which forms the communication with Soerabaja, several ine houses are built in European style and surrounded by shady gardens.
