las versiones que circular en- San

Sc dice que Ell dictamen pre-

tos las iglesias;
Que ell senor Obispo de la do
cesis 5oIicit6 de MIR. Hollander que la
exenci6n Sc extendiese a las casas
parroquialesj
Que, conforme Mr.. Hollander, Sc
entendi6 con el senor Crosas fin de
que este presentara una enmienda
para eximir a los edihclos de cuaI-
quier culto.
Que, al discutirse esa enmienda,
Ia impugn6 rudamente el senor Bar
bosa, combatiendo al catohcismo y
haci6ndole responsible de las des-
gFacias que sufre la sociedad puerto
rlquefa.
Que votaron con el senor Bar
bosa los senores Matienzo y BriCso,
resultando veucida la enmienda. Por
ese motive I'm Consejero Continental

elementos saros de la colonia.
\ el LEADER, que es absolute,
