Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic
In 1911 the Argentine government de-
voted much attention to the opening
OF new ports on the rivers and on the
coast of the Atlantic or to simplifying
those at present in existence In order
to provide for the increased maritime
trade with neighboring and foreign
countries. Among these may be men
toned the work Of enlarging the port
of Mar del Plata, known as, THE
Brighton of Argentina" which is now
being carried out, while the Port Ar
gentine Great Central Railways COM
pany has obtained concession from
the government to construct and work
an Atlantic port in the bay of Sam
borombon, about 100 miles from the
city of Buenos Aires, and system
of railways, comprising about $40
miles Of lines, connecting the port
with the principal railways of the re-
public.
The first section of the harbor
works, now in course of construction
under the direction of Engineer Jean
Sillard, is to be completed In eight
years and will have a capacity suffi-
Client to accommodate sea going YES
sells to an aggregate of not less than
10000 tons. The harbor concession is
granted for ninety-nine years from
April 2, 1910, and all lands for a dis
lance of nine miles of foreshore on the
bay reclaimed from the sea below the
highest water mark have been grant
ed In perpetuity subject to a small
strip which reverts to the government
after ninety-nine years.
The lines of this company, from the
port of Somborombon, will connect
with those of the Great Southern rail-
way, the Western railway and the Pa
cific. The Northeastern Railway COM
pany has been authorized to construct
and exploit for the term of thirty years

government has also recently ap-
proved the project for the amplifica-

Ever witness the sigh of relief with

They're fond of her, of course. but
there isn't any doubt about certain
