amos la considerable suma de $470.0OC
que supone un promedio annual de Ger.

Cual 81 Sc tratase de "un grano de
anis," como vulgarmente Sc dice, sc
pretende que la Railroad implante
los frenos automaticos en- su material,
sin tener en cuenta, que para levar a
cabo tail reforma tendrfa que sacrificar
una considerable cantidad, y disponer
del tempo materialmente necesario pa

Cada freno de aire colocado en- los
vagones y puestos va estos en- disposi-
ci6n de funcionar, costar1a a la En-
presa $40 80; y para introducir esta
mejora en- todos los vagones que po-
see, Suponiendo que solo lie costara ca
da plno a $40, habr1a de emplear en- es-
ia atenci6n mas de 100000.
" una CompaI1a que emplea anual-
mente cerca de $25O.OO en- dotar al p1-
blico de un buen servicio ferroviario !;
que presenta en- la Isla, a pesar de sus
perdidas una Estacion como la que en-
breve inaugurara (y de este va nos
ocuparemos), no merece que Sc lie dis
pense la mas decidida protection of
cial, y que no Sc lie deje a merced de
quien pretende ser 1nico seiior y due
no de los servicios ferroviarios? jSu-

Concedasele en- buen hora un plazo
prudential, en- analogia con sus ingre-
sos para llevar a cabo la reforma de su
material tai como viene obligada por
la Ley, va que dicha Empresa,
hara 10 que Sc ordene de muy buen gra-

llegada la hora de agitar la opinion pd-
bllca para evitar que sc consumara un
