A Ia Junta Suuerior de Sandal

Siguen cantandO Y lanzandO al
ambiente IN perfume Internal las al
cantarillas. No sabemos como viven
a1n los ciudad amos en- San Juan. En-
tendemos que esas regillas colocadas
para ser conductoras de los gases que
Sc desprendan de la arteria central
son perjudiciaIes, puesto que los ga
ses en- lugar de salir por las valvulas
de las esquinas saldran por las cur
vas que Sc encuentran en- las aceras, Y
en- este case seran perfectamente aspi-
RADIOS por los transeuntes.
Pues bien; ST es cierto que es ma

doctor Vale Atiles en- ell Ateneo, la

crobios de la tisis Sc alojen en- nues-

ra que los gases que salen de las al
cantarillas vengan q inocularnos con

transeunte, y aunque no entendemos
de ingenier[a nj de medicina pens amos
que esos efuvios de las alcantarillas
deben conducirse la atmosfera por

No sabemos cual haya sido 81 re-
medic tecnico que Sc ha propuesto
por la comision nombrada por ell Co.
bernador, pero asegurar1amos que no
pueden estar los informes de los inge-
nieros en- contradiction con nuestra
creencia.
Sea como fuere, hay que higienizar
Ell ambiente que Sc respira en- San Juan,
Y ST las corporaciones sanitarias obli-
gan los vecinos poner sus casas
en- condiciones de garantizar la salud
p6blica, no es menos cierto que ell
municipio esta obligado a garantiza ar
esta misma inseguridad, evitando que
ell pueblo de San Juan Sc envenene
constantemente con los efuvios de
ssas alcantarillas municipales que es-
tan lejos de tener las buenas condicio-
nes que exige un buen sistema higie-
