PADANG

Padang, the capital of the West Coast of Sumatra, is situated 100° 20' E. longi- tude and 58'S. latitude. The population amounted in 1914 to 109,161, of whom 1,798 were Europeans, 3,828 Chinese, 210 Arabs, 968 other foreign Orientals, and 102,357 natives. The abundant vegetation, the extensive coconut plantations, and pleasant lanes give the impression of a large park or an immense native village, in which a few European bungalows are built. The bungalows are constructed of wood and bamboo, the floor is raised some feet above the ground, and the roofs are covered with atap leaves. The mountain scenery in the background and the large plan on which the place is designed, make Padang one of the most pleasant towns of Netherlands-India, though the public buildings and private residences do not have a grand appearance. Padang is one of the most healthy coast places, land and sea winds contributing very much to lower the temperature.
