NAGASAKI

few years Nagasaki has gained considerable importance as a base for steam trawlers, of which there are now about 120 operating under the Japanese flag. The Municipality has erected a large fish market on the wharf near the railway station and is construct ing piers for the use of the trawlers. Special facilities have been granted the trade by the Railway Board and a great development is expected in the near future. The waterworks, owing to the growth of the town, were found to be insufficient for its wants and a large extension of the works was completed in March, 1904. The reservoirs hold 405,240,000 gallons, and there are three filter beds and a service reservoir. The railway developments of recent years have made it possible, with a brief sea passage of ten minutes, between Moji and Shimonoseki, to travel by rail from Nagasaki to Kobe and thence to Tokyo. The climate in Nagasaki is mild and salubrious, and there are several very popular health resorts in the neighbourhood, the most famous being Mount Unzen, on which an excellent nine-hole golf course was laid out in 1911.

In 1913 the imports were valued at Yen 16,136,906, an increase of Yen 3,451,183 on the figures for 1912, while exports amounted to Yen 4,745,618, an increase of Yen 792,114.

The population of the port has increased greatly during recent years. In Decem- ber, 1913, it was returned as 160,450, nearly double what it was twenty years ago. The foreign population, exclusive of Chinese, was 292. The Chinese nuniber about 858. An English newspaper, the Nagasaki Press, is published daily.
