PUBLIC LANDS IN PORTO RICO.
Question of Jurisdiction Before House
InsuIar Committee.

There IS a difference of opinion relative
to the jurisdiction over the public lands
OF Porto Rico. the United States Govern
ntent having assumed control. although
Porto Rico thinks title rests with the
island since Spain exercised no control
since 1911
w. II. Elliott, Commissioner of the IN
terror of Porto Rico. today addressed the
House Committee on Insular Affairs, urg-
ing legislation eeding the territory in
question to the island, the United States
Government to reserve only what may be
needed for military, naval, and other pub
lie purposes.
The lands 10 which Mr. Elliott referred
particularly are on the little island on
which San Juan is situated. San Juan,
having a population of IS. COO has an
area OF only eighty acres. and it IS badly
cramped for room. Commissioner De-
gettau of Porto Rico. addressed the com
mittse on the same subject and in the
same vein.
