MACASSAR

1207

The harbour (Government property) has been constructed at a cost of about twelve million guilders (£1,000,000) and is administered by a Harbour Board (Commissie van bijstand) with the Engineer Harbour-Director (Directeur der Haven) as President, under the supervision of the Department of Public Works at Batavia. Marine and shipping affairs are managed in collaboration with the Harbourmaster and pilots by an administration named "Haven-beheer," (i.e., Harbour-management). ·

Macassar is conrected by a double telegraph cable with Sourabaya (Singapore, Br. India, e.s.o.), and by a single cable with Balikpapan (east coast of Borneo) and Menado north-east peninsula of Celebes), and has consequently connection, also, with China, Japan and the Pacific Coast of the U.S.A.

A wireless telephone plant with Sourabaya is in operation.

The first State tramway was opened on the 1st July, 1922 (Macassar-Takaiar), an important step for the development of the interior of the island Celebes. The con- struction of new lines has been postponed owing to the curtailment of construction programme.
