Lo sucedidO aver
Ell ABANDONO DEL
CUERPO DE BOMBEROS
AL Sr. DEL VALLE ATILES

Notamos aver senior del Vale Atiles.
lque durante los trabajos de los bomberos
en- la extinction del fuego ocurrido en-
los almacenes de Finlay Bros, reventaron
las dos mangueras que funcionaban en-
un abrir y cerrar de ojos De modo que
los marineros del Arsenal tuvieron que
prescindir por complete de las expresa-
das mangueras por inservibles. Esto pa
rece d primera vista una cosa sin i'm
portancia, porque el fuego de aver no
revisti0, aun cuando pudo, ninguna gra-
vedad. Pero ell dia que ocurra un sinies-
tro serio y Sc haga precise el trabaio de
las mangas, ese dia Ell seiior del Vale
lAtiles, ante Ell sacrificio in1til del cuerpo
de bomberos, ,se convencera de que las OBJ
scrvaciones que lie viene hacienda ell BO-
LETIN desde hace mucho tempo mere
cen tonlarse en- cuenta. Ell cuerpo de
bomberos esta no solo desorganizado in
terlormente sinO que Sc parece un al
baril que tratara de construir una casa
sin herramientas, nj escaleras, nj NADIA
de 10 que hace falta para levantar I'M
ediflcio. Ell cuerpo de bomberos esta en-
un abandono lamentable, en- un olvido
punible
/
| Ell Ayuntamiento de San Juan con
lperdon sea dicho, presta atencion a cosas
muy secnndarlas, y sin embargo, deja
en- ell mayor desamparo, en- la mayor de-
lsldla, la clase de bomberos, hasta ell pun
to de que parece mentira que un alcalde
de la talla y de los alientos del seilor
fdel Vale Atiles permita tales cosas.
Pues que. Los bomberos son seres hu-
manos como todos los demas, hombres
que lleyan, algunos, veintinueve amos
de labor en- el cuerpo merecen respeto
(y consideration por parte de un Ayun-
|tamlento liberal, democratic y no sabe-
!mos cuantas cosas mas.
| Senor del Vale Atiles, la franqueza
les condici6n indispensable para la mi
|slOn periodlstica Y con la franqueza na-
|tural que caracteriza siempre al repor-
Iterlsmo, que recoge las palpitaciones de
la opinion p1blica, hemos de decirle que
Sc hace necesario un cambio de opinion
EN- 10 que respecta al cuerpo de bolnbe-
ros de San Juan.
Las reformas en- ell servicio en- los
materiales Sc imponen Sc Green .iustas,
necesarias, ineludibles
Ell cuerpo de bomberos no puede nj
ldebe ser postergado como pas0 aver Dor
|grupos extranos, 81 bien humanitarios
AL cuerpo de bomberos no Sc lie debe
vejar, nj Sc le debe molestar Oe remiti-
mos al sargento de brigada senior Cha
varria, quien lie informara de 10 que SUI
cedlo en- el sitio del fuego) el cuerpo de
bomberos, 10 repetiremos cien veces 81 es
necesario, es la salvaguardia de la socie-
dad y el primero en- exponer su vida en-
.el cumplimiento del deber
Asl pues, ell senior del Vale Atiles.
como alcalde, como filantropo, tcomo
lpensador, sino quiere estar en- pugna
con sus ldeales, con sus escritos, con s,,,
predlcas, ha de intentar algo en- bien de
la clase noble y valerosa del cuerpo de
Ihomberos
NO Sc conquistan lauros apiarsn,, di

! Hay cue probarlo Ell seior del Vale
AtiIes tiene meritos sufcientes para clio,

 You talk of the liberty of the press" he exclaimed to the jury.

He was made a life member Of the organization three years ago and was at that time one of the youngest life members of the order He has a number of friends iu the local lodge of the ant lered ioih
 Speaking of the twenty-third an- nual reunion of E1ks to be held in Los Angeles in July. Mr. Sanders said:
 Los Angeles has raised about s10O.- 900 to entertain the visitors who win be in attendance at the reunion and we expect to entertain about 100000 people from onJsiae the city. The last annual event or the kind was held in Baltimore and 1t was estimated that Ss.ooo visitors were in attend snce.
 Three big parades have been pre- pared to be held during the six days the session win last There Eili be an ERs parade. an electrical parade and an al'egorical parade containing floats representative Of every nation in the world.
 "All the beach towns around Los Angeles are preparing to entertain the visitors and the railroads have prom ised greatly reduced rates for the oc- casion. There are in Los Angeles about g big hotels and these have all promised that the rates win not be raised while the convention is being held. Because of it's location and because of the net work of finely op- erated electric railroads that leads from the city to a large number of beautiful suburbs, we think Los An geles is better prepared to entertain and care for the visiting crowds than any other city of the United States. The electric lines br-ng into close re lationship 9 number of beautiful beach towns and suburbs among which is Venice, one of the most beautiful towns on the coast"
 Mir. Sanders win leave today for the east and return in about fort night to take up his work Of issuing the Bulletin.
