BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1905-11-30

We, the unceasing counsellors of
prudent economy in public expendl
lures. are going to advise, to ask and
demand that more money be spent On
a projected work.
We are speaking Of an exceptional
matter: that of the repairs to the the
!atre.
The amount of money appropriated
by the municipality for the above pur
pose, ten thousand dollars, has been
Increased to nearly fifteen thousand.
but even this is insufficient for com
pie irg thc necessary work.
With so modest sum it is not pos :
sible to accomplish the desired chan
ges in decoration and adornment of
the pit, the galleries and other portions
of the structure, in manner in keep
ing with the importance of the San
Juan theatre.
Since the municipality is derermi- :
ned to carry to completion the work
demanded by public opinion, our dig
nifty as cultured and artistic people
and the needs of civilized society, it is
absolutely necessary that the work be
done without parsimony, that for its
proper accomplishment all the funds
necessary be provided.
Is it possible for the municipality to
appropriate further sum?
We believe that it is, and there
fore it is it's duty to see to it that the
work done on the theatre is we'll done
and more than a mere repair, the re
suit of false economy.
And it is not only the municipality
that should be inte rested in carrying
to a successful end this important
work; the House of Delegates ought
to CO operate by making an approp-
ration of twenty thousand, thirty
thousand dollars, or any amount that
may be needed for putting the the
atre in such shape that it can be
pointed to with pride.
The House of Delegates and the
Executive Council-particularly the
|latter-have more than once given
proof of prodigal generosity, which
we have found necessary 10 censure.
They have given away lands afterw-
ards need, granted concessions which
have not been utilized by the gran
tees; they have appropriated large
sums, and in other ways have shown
. marked tendency towards liberality;
our governing organisms have, in
short, displayed Unlimited generosity.

EDITORIAL

1t is not only the municipality of San
also the party closest 80 the latter; the
Porto Rican Atheneum, the So called
centres of instruction, ali the societies
that consider them selves cultured. in
| fact it is the VIII ole island that has an
interest in the welfare of our theatre.
Let no one raise any AFFECTIONS. Or
protest because we ask from the ms
ular treasury the amount required to
make the San Juan theatre worthy
edifice.
Ponce, Mayagiiez and Arecibo are
not able to offer sufficient inducem-
ent for companies to come from abr
DAD, these cities are not even able
to support the local companies.
All the theatres throughout the island
need the San Juan theatre, and this
assertion is proved by the fact that
since our theatre became useless not
even a mediocre theatrical company
has visised Porto Rico.
We do not say this for the sake of
repeating we'll known fact, but in
order that there may not be unwarran.
ted opposition. SO that it may not be
said with manifest stupidity that the
Island has no obligation to contribu-
te to making attractive, impressive.
sumptuos and monumental-lf possible
the edihces of San Juan.
Yes. the Island has the obligation,
and rot only has it the obligation, but
it is also to its interest and to its advan-
tage to do this, for it is for the benefit
of everybody.
Now is the opportune moment for
the country in its entirety to show that
it appreciates and recognizes that ev-
erything that may be done for thea
tire for Its establishment, rebounds to
its glory and prestige.
One of the first acts of the LegiSla-
ture should be to provide whatever
amount may be required for the pro-
per completion of the repairs to the
theatre.
Opposition need not be feared. for
there will be none, and if selfish muir
murings are heard. niggardly spirit
manifested, it will be enough to say
that never has the money Of the peo-
pie been spent more worthily and mo-
re nobly than on the work Of embel-
fishing and beautifying our theatre
and making it worthy of what it re-
presents.

Even now there are cities, big cities in the
Middle West and South where the caulifower
is practically unknown. And though in the neigh
borhood ~ many large cities. such Chicag go,
Boston and San Francisco, thare are extensive
truck farms on which caulifower is grown for
home consumption, there are but Two distinct
''cauIifower districts in the whole United States
where the vegetable IS extensively grown and
shipped Il distant markets These curtously
enough. are more han twenty-four hundred miles
apart one along the rich soiled borders OF Puget
Sound. near the Pacific, and the other in the low
lying farm country in the northeastery portion Of
Long Island near the Atlantic.
In the Puget Sound district the caulifower has
fourished since the railroads have opened up the
territory and developed its advantages truck
garden district. Carloads Of caulifower now
shipped daily points along the Pacific Coast and
the eastward. Still more remarkable,
though, is the caUlifower growing district north
eastern Long Isand-a strip of country four miles
wide and about thirty miles long extending from
the little dip land called Batting Hollow TO
where the hustng little Of Greenport lies
between Long Island Sound and the waters Of its
deep harbor.
This is probably the busiest and most prosperous
truck farming area in the country. An evidence Of
IT'S prosperity is the fact that il has savings
banks with deposits OF over 100000 each. and
three other State national banks with accounts
OF from 10000 TO $4,000 The farmers are not
a. all like the unprosperous. struggling agricult-
