FUSAN

369

Fusan Railway and a daily service of steamers to Japan have combined to make Fusan a great centre of activity, and the volume of trade passing through the port has greatly increased in recent years. Many public improvements are being carried out, including the enlargement of the waterworks, the laying out of new roads, etc. Fusan was connected with Japan by a submarine telegraph cable in November, 1883. There are 12.6 miles of electric tramway in Fusan, including a line to the Torai hot-spring resort. There are few European firms in the port; business is carried on principally by the Japanese.

MASAMPO

浦山馬

native

Masampo was opened to foreign trade on the 1st May, 1899. It has population in March 1930 was 24,988 (Coreans 19,309, Japanese 5,592). The climate is very mild. The harbour is good and in summer it serves as an excellent sea-bathing place. The Masampo branch of the Seoul-Fusan railway besides several lines of small steamers connect with the port of Fusan, and the superior accommodation of the latter port greatly interferes with the eommercial expansion of Masampo.
