SEMARANG

Semarang, the capital of the "Provincie" Midden-Java, is situated in 110° 25′ E. longitude and 6° 58′ S. latitude. The population of Semarang numbered in 1927 11,885 Europeans, 25,328 foreign Orientals, and 141,866 natives; total 179,079. The old city is small, with narrow streets and lanes. On the west side of the river are the residence of the Regent, the Mosque, the Post and Telegraph Office, the Hospital, the Court of Justice, the Government House containing the Offices of the Governor, and different other Government offices.

The railway extends to Batavia, Sourabaya and Jogjakarta. The roads of Semarang do not afford the same accommodation as the harbour of Tandjoengpriok, but the view of the city and surroundings is very fine. So-called steam tramways, being in fact light railways with quite a considerable capacity-both for goods and passenger traffic-extend from Semarang westward along the coast as far as Tjerebon, and further on up-country to Kadipaten; and also to the eastern parts of the Govern- ment Midden-Java as well as to Sourabaya, as mentioned above.
