creaban dificultades d la marcha de
los asuntos.
Hoy, con una tercera parte del
personal, Sc despachan los negoclos
con mayor rapidez. Del Secretario
de Gobernaci6n podemos declrg que
esta en- su ofciua desde las slete de
la maflana hasta las slete de la
noche. Y que Sc lie encuentra STEM
pre- agobiado por un cdmulo IN
menso de atenciones apremlantes.
V6anse los registros de entrada
y salida de aquella oficina y Sc sa-
bra ell n1mero de informes emitldos
yde resoluciones dictadas.
Y sigue
-" Los Secretaries, beneyolos d
su vez con los subsecretaflos, los
Iconservan q su lado.
SePero, por Dios, / Sc estan con-
virtiendo aquf en- sistema la false
dad sistematica Z?
Nj en- Fomento, NJ en- Justlcla,
nj en- Gobernacion hay Subsecreta-
rios. Queda ell de Hacienda pero
| no ell Administrator Central, que
cobraba ell mismo sueldo. De mo-
do que, en- realidad, no queda MIN
guno.
Y, no obstante, Sc afirma sin es-
crdpulo que los Secretaries conser-
van a los Subsecretarios.
Dan ganas de emigrar de un
pals en- que asi Sc airman cosas
inexactas y en- que tai vez exlsta
qn;en las crea 6 quien, sin creerlas;
las propague.
Y los que tai conducta observan
Sc llaman asi propios les ecos del
pals!
Copiemos todavia
-" No parece sino que todos ma
|cimos para ser empleados y vivir al
amor del presupuesto."
Esto 81 que es mucha verdad.
Y 10 prueba que los disgustos del
Consejo insular y de su presidente
estriban en- que no hay destt'aos pa
"a todos.
