En- ell informe sobre las condiciones
sanitarias del acueducto de San Juan y

tor |. Gonzalez MARTINEZ, Sc recomienda
entire otras cosas:
IA. Construir una Represa mas
arriba del Vado de Trigo en- el sitio de-
signado por el Ingeniero Sanita11o, con
ell obieto de crear un lago artificial con
capacidad bastante para allmentar de
aqua q San Juan Rio Piedras durante
varias semanas'.
Hace n amos que el entonces Ingenie-
70 Municipal don Arturo Guerra hizo
esa misma recommendation al Munlclplo
de San Juan. deScartando 10 de la Cons

dotar q San Juan en- epocas de lluvla de
aguas claras potables que pudlesen ill
trarse econ0micamente Ell los tanques va

clones de la actual toma
Ell Ingeniero de la ciudad de acuerdo
con ell Ingeniero Sanitarlo recomlenda
que la nueva represa Sc construya 2.OUO
metros aguas arriba de la actual toma.
El Ingeniero don Arturo Guerra re-
comienda que Sc construya a unos 1000
metres aguas ariiba de la actual toma en-
el sitio denominado LAS Lajas" lndl-
cado por la naturaleza como emplaza-
miento ideal para esa clase de obra,
tanto porque la cimentacion de la he
presa puede establecerse dlrectamente
sobre la roca, cuanto por la bondad de
las aguas batidas que ALI Sc encuentran
Y conservan siempre claras casl cla-
ras en- atenci6n d que no discurren So

La Liga de Propietarios no considera
necesario la construction del lago artifi-
cial propuesto tanto por el lngenlero
Sanitario, como por el lngenlero de la
Ciudad. Estos lagos Sc construyen GUAM

El Lago Croton acumulaba una reser-

Pero ell case de la ciudad de San Juan

for funds to provide better pay for
school teachers. the House Appropria-
tons Commute was somcwhnt revived
last night when former State Senator
Floyd King asserted that the State was
throwing away good deal OF money
paying salaries to people who were not
trained or prepared for the business OF
teaching. Senator King had served hts
own apprenticeship rs teacher be-
fore taking up law. and asserted that
while the present rate OF pay was not
munificent, 1t was at least double what
II had been In his time. Enormous
sums had been spent to make chill
drcn comfortable in neat school build
ings. but what was really needed was
competent teaching
Senator King finally worked around
to the main point of his remarks. which
was petition for funds for enlarge
ment OF the Harrisonburg Normal
School Judge Martin Williams re-
marked that by the utmost use of the
taxing power the State could probably
raise s7,o00,000 next year. while petit

partments already aggregate 10000

pending approprlates s32s.0o0 to the

scented thcid demands before the House
