EDITORIAL :

optimism-that our Governor believes
that the value of the bond in question
NAV be recovered even at this late
Iday.
It may be that the Governor on his
return will advocate the making of an
appropriation for the purpose of car
Trying on a suit against the bonding
Company.
But there is something of more vi
tai interest that ought to claim the at
tention and activities of our Governor
and the Legislature. 1t is the passing
of a law by which officials who are ne
gligent and unmindful of their Official
duties-as has occurred in the case in
question-may be prosecuted and held
responsible for the bringing of suits
which might have been avoided had
our so called public administrators ex-
(ercised ordinary prudence and little
common senses
We are tired of paying for the
mistakes of others. What necessity is
there for the Governor wasting his
Ftime-which might be more prohtaoly
employed in the more important ende-
lavor OF securing tariff protection-in
making inquiries about matter which
perhaps will only end in making hiM
lose his hopes and optimism7
AS may readily be seen, we feel no
enthusiasm over the contemplated suit.
On the contrary, we feel that while
there are things of greater Importance
demanding attention, it is pity to
waste precious time in matters whose
results can be foreseen.
The failures which have followed in
the wake of all that relates to the
lVandergrift Construction Company
are not likely to show any change in
the attempt to collect the bond in
question.
In order to teach our delinquent tu-
tors very necessary lesson, they
ought to be made to pay the expenses
of the suit which it is now proposed to
bring.
AS a preventive, such course
would undoubtedly be an efulgent
success.
The functionaries perhaps feel that
they are performing grand service
to the public in bringing suit in the
United States for the recovery of the
bond, that they are giving the most
signal proof of loyalty to the country.
for whose interests they feel such
t-a2. sc@ndent concernO.
Possibly they hope to win the graf
itude of the colony and gain reput-
alton for wisdom and prudence as an
offset to the cold blooded Indifference
which marks all the colonial acts OF
! the imported bureaucracy.

The responsibility and ind Inference
for some time observed in our functio-
naries. which have been displayed
in various ways and on different oc-
casions, is having it's scandalous apo
theosis in the case of the bond of the
lVandegrift Construction Co.
From the latest reports-which have
| a certain Official stamp-published in a
paper distinguished for its oAicious-
ness, we have received surprising bit
of information.
The Governor, while he is in the
United States, is said to be charged
with the duty of making preliminary
arran sementS with some attorney who,
when the Legislative Assembly autho.
rizes the expenditure of sum for
fees, will begin suit against the Com
pany on the bond of the Vandegriit
Company; the suit to be Instituted
lin Pennsylvania. the State in which
the former Company is incorporated.
An attempt, therefore, is to be ma
lde to collect the one hundred thousand
dollar bond, and for this purpose it is
necessary, according to the view of our
Officials, to bring suit which, we do
mot hesitate to predict, will not have a
lfavora BILE result for as.
From the very beginning the matt
Ter of the bond of the Construction
company has been badly handled
The wisdom Of surrendering the ten
Thousand dollars in cash which wa:
Lin the possession of the Treasurer OF
Porto Rico for bond whose value is
mot likely to be recovered, is open to
lgrave criticism. This ten thousand dol
liars was to be released on the furnish
ing of a good and sufficient bond. Did
the bond for whose value it is now
proposed to sue come within the
meaning of good and sufficient?
The People of Porto Rico are now
|called upon to pay for the censurable
stupidity of the officials who (mis,
managed the matter OF the Wander.
| grift bond.
The unsatisfactory and inexcusable
status of the case is due to the defect
of the system in operation here and
Ito the utter irresponsibility Of the
lfunctionaries.
In order to make possible the bring
ling of this suit, rendered necessary
by lack of oGcial foresight. it is now
proposed to ask the. Legislature to
grant an appropriatioakh he payment
of the services of S pec1sr lawyer.
One of the matters which will enga-
ge the attention of Governor Win
throp during his trip to the Metropoli
is to see what can be done in the mat
ter of the bond.
1t may be-with his characteristics
