General of Division in command OF
the National Army, PaciflCator Of the
County and Constitutional President
of the Republic:
Considering: That the scanty i'm
Dortations that arc made at the port Of
BaRh0na, whose commerce is furnish
ed in its advantage In this market, do
not produce a rent sufficient for the
sustcnancc of the body of employees
which Il MARITIME Custom house re-
quires;
considering: That the necessity Of
Introducing eccnomy in the Prcsupuest
GSudgeO OF public expenses demands
always the suppression of every crega-
ton, whose object does not cover n
necessity OF the service.
Heard The opinion of The Cnun-
Gil of Secretaries Of state:
Resolves:
Art. !. From the publication Of the
present resolution the port of Bara-
bona Is declared closed
Art. .. Vessels proceeding from for
eign ports which may come with the
object of taking cargo in said port;
shall direct themselves to the port of
this Capital City. whence they shall
be dispatched for that port to effect
their landing, and then from there they
may be dispatched for foreign ports by
the Administrator OF Finance, who shall
liquidltc and collect tho CORES spending
charges in agreement with the laws in
force.
"These ships shall not pay the
charges OF permission OF coas.. 'cn these
cases and they shall only satisfy the
port charges in this city and the
charges of expectation in the port of
Barahona. .r4
Art. 3. The Administrator Of Finance
a Banhona IS authorized to concede
permission OF coast to the ships which
have to so from that port TO one on the
coast to take cargo intervening the
payment of corresponding charges
This administrative act became OPP
erative on the 30th OF October"
The above Is published In full for
the benefit OF those who go down TO
the sea in ships, as we'll rs the curious
on land, to whom the document will
prove interesting and instructive.
