A cuya Junta Directiva Sc con
fri6 amplios poderes, para redactal
la representation que sin perdida de
tempo debe presentarse al Consejc
Executive, asi como para recaudai
fondos con toda urgencia que per.
mite IL hacer frente cor holgura
todos los gastos que sea necesaric
satisfacer hasta la completa termi-
naci6n de este asunto.O
Hasta aqui los ciudadanos de
Rio Piedras. Conocen su posicion
y Ia mantienen con serenidad y
energia. Firmes en- su raz6n, la
hacen valer, como hombres que
aman a su terra y que no permiten
negoclos Ell que a su terra toque la
peor parte. Ell Consejo Executive
les oira sin duda y les atendera Sc.
gun debe atenderles. Esas frma>
soil respetables y rcsponsables; pero
ademas de su respcnsabilidad su
respetabilidad, agrupan, tras elias,
millares y millares de personals qul
comparten sus juicios y sus acti
tudes.
Hablan claro y a tempo. Sc
apoyan en- la realidad de las cosas V
no pueden quedar solas en- ese pleito
por el bien pIblico. Nosotros, en-
nombre de los habitantes de San
Juan, vamos mas lejos a1u y pedi-
mos que, antes de conceder una
franquicia tan conveniente a la EN-
presa de los tranvlas, Sc les impon-
ga la condicion de construir una
segunda via de esta ciudad hasta el
puente de Martin Pefia, y de ad-
quirir el material rodante que exige
ell trafico en- constante desarrollo.
Asi Sc obtendra mayor rapidez, su-
primiendo los inc6modos cruces,
que causan retardos y demoras in
sufribles.
No es justo lesionar 4 la EN-
presa en- la exploitation legitima de
su linea ferrea; pero tampoco es JUS
to lesionar al pdblico en- su desco
de comodidad y velocidad. Ell mo-
vimiento es grande va y crece de
aiio Ell aiio. Los productos bastan
para realizar estas reformas Y re-
partir dividendos elevados, Lo l6gi.
co es hacer compatibles el interes de
la compaiia y Ell interGs de las po-
blaciones. ST Sc llega una soluci6n
que abarque ambos extremes, todo
el mundo Sc sentira satisfecho. Ira
tandose de un negocio americana,
la lnayoria del Consejo, americana
tambien, necesita dar muestras de
gran rectitud para que nadie, con
justicia, la acuse de parcialidad.
En- todo case, no hay que espe-
rar las inmunidades del siIencio. Sc
nos cnseha bien el AYUDATE ( II
pRoPIo. Y vamos aprendiendo.
