HAIPHONG

B221

concerns are cement works (whose products are known all over the Far East), cotton mills, rice mills, brick, tile and ceramic factories, foundries, shipbuilding yards, and an important factory (opened in the beginning of 1922) for the making of all sorts of chemical products.

The total population is about 80,000.

Haiphong is connected with Hanoi by rail, passenger-trains running five times a day each way, and is in communication by landline with Saigon and by radio with Hongkong. Haiphong is also connected by a macadamised road of 22 Km. (about 14 miles) with the nice beach of Doson (Dâù-Són in native language), where come to rest, during the hot season, numerous European families of the Protectorate and, too, rich native people.

Haiphong, at last, is the point of starting for all trips in the neighbouring coal regions of Hongay and, by sea as well as by overland, throw the famous "Along Bay".

It must be noticed that the town of Haiphong has been given up to France in whole property by the King of Annam and that, therefore, the city is administrated, like in France, by a French Mayor assisted by a "municipal council" the only difference being that the Mayor is an "Administrator of Civil service" of a high grade, designated by the General Governor, instead of being an "elected citizen".
