ABSTRACT

Administration. Kwang Chow Wan is under the control of a Chief Administrator, representing the Governor-General of IndoChina. This official is assisted in his duties by the heads of the three administrative districts into which the territory is divided. As in Annam, the districts are split up into communes, each under a Conseil de Notables. The judicial organization, for the Chinese population, is directed by a judge of the court of first instance and by a mixed Franco-Chinese tribunal; a Juge de paix with extended jurisdiction handles cases affecting French subjects. Education is provided at numerous Chinese schools and at the College Albert Sarraut, a large institution with more than 500 pupils. There are native hospitals at Fort Bayard and Che Kam.
