S. Jakarta holds development expo

South Jakarta mayoralty is holding a five-day development
exhibition, featuring achievements in development programs
throughout the mayoralty.

The exhibition was opened by Maskup Ustianto, an assistant to
the city secretary. There are seventy stands representing
district offices, governmental institutions and private companies
in South Jakarta.

In a written statement read at the opening of the exhibition,
Governor Surjadi Soedirdja urged Jakartans, especially residents
of the mayoralty, to become active in the city's development
program.

"Such involvement is badly needed to enable the city to
anticipate the continuing increases in the population," the
governor was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying.

In a related development, South Jakarta mayor H. Pardjoko said
that his mayoralty is giving priority to the improvement of water
services and the preservation of water catchment areas with the
aim of maintaining an adequate supply of water. (hhr)
