ARROYO
LA QUESTION DEL PAN

Raya en- 10 indecible, Ell pesimo
sc consume en- este pueblo.
No nos detendremos censurar 10
que respecte la confecci6n pureza
del artfculo, porque no somos peritos
en- Ia materia: pero ST nos prepone-
mos levantar alta clara nuestra Voc
de protesta para esa policfa que olvi-
dandose del cumplimiento del deber
haciendose de la vista larga, permite
que Sc expenda Ell mencionado artfculo,
la mayor parte do las veces, falto de
peso que la ley determine.
Cuando en- otras poblaciones Sc
consume dos tres centavos hbras,
en- esta Sc cotiza q cinco 6 seis centa-
vos la libra nominal, sin que existan
razones que justifquen esa diferer cia
en- precios.
Es necesario que ell Gobierno mu-
nicipal tome determinaciones para re-
gular Ell precio del pan, el cual esta
hasta la fecha al capricho de los pa
naderos, n pues no es iusto nj logico
que Ell pobre consumidor tenga que en-
muchas ocasiones privarse de conner
ese artfculo, que es considerable como
uno de los de primera necesid ad.
T6canos decir la policfa al G O.
bierno municipal en- particular, que
Ell precio del pan no Sc regulariza de-
nunciando al Gremio por faltas insig-
nifcantes de sanidad, para que los
Tribunales de Justicia le imponga mas
6 menos excesiva multa; sino acord an
do una ordenanza, dentro de las atri-
buciones que la Ley municipal conce-
de, en- la que Sc nivele ell precio de ese
art1culo, teniendo en- cuenta el alza de
su materia prima, por la que tenga
derecho Ell Consejo y ell deber & la vez
de suministral pan al pueblo, cuando
no sean respetadas las secciones que
Sc estipulen en- su ordenanza.
R6stame decir tambisn los pana-
deros de este pueblo, que estas mani
festaciones mfas, hijas de mi indepen-
diente criterio, son lanzadas & Ia pu-
blicidad en- defensa de mis- compuebla-
nos, cuyo grito de protesta surge por
doquiera no deoe darsele color polf-
tico ninguno, pues entendemos que por
encima de las conyeniencias polfticas
estan los intereses particulares del
consumidor, que es el pueblo que paga
y sufre.

Chefoo, June s0s-Letters received

idea OF the conditions prevailing In the
Deselged city. One writer says the
civilians, though knowing something
OF what is occurring. are ignorant or
the progress of the war. Little infoE

spend the nights in safety. The bands
play occasionally in the parks and the
prices of food are Slightly higher The
Chinese are suffering severely in many
ways as result Of the fighting.
The food on the junks is provided by
the government to enable the Chinese
to leave Port Arthur. The Red Cross
