MACASSAR

Bonthain in the distance, afford a fine spectacle, especially in the evening, when they are not covered by the fogs that rise from the plains. Beautiful sunsets are to be seen every night from the Harbourmaster's landing-stage.

.

The city of Macassar is administered by a Municipal Council with a Burgomaster as president. The Council has 17 niembers (10 of European origin, 5 Natives of Macas- sar, and 2 Chinese). Technical affairs, grounds and the public sanitary service are managed, under the supervision of the Municipal Council, by an Engineer Director of Municipal public works (Ingenieur-Directeur Gemeentewerken). The municipal gas plant is managed by a Director (Directeur der Gemeente-Gasfabriek) under the supervision of the Gasworks Committee, nominated by the Municipal Council. The electric lighting plant is in the hands of the Ned. Indische Gas-Maatschappy.

The harbour (Government property) has been constructed at a cost of about twelve million guilders (£1,300,000) 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 are compulsory.
