IF THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
DECEMBER I.

If this is your birthday, the present
year will bring many unexpected
changes, so if you have money, make
safe investments; if you own property
do not part with it hecdlessly. Examine
all titles and deeds and watch insur-
ances in which you are interested.
The sign of this birthday is Sagittar-
ius, meaning the Archer. This gives a
direct method of dealing with people and
business which sometimes amounts Ia
a cruel bluntness.
The planet governing this birthdatC
is the sun, hence the nature is warm
ardent in affection, but sometimes
tickle in love affairs.
This person proves a good friend. ha:
clear judgment and is reliable in bust
ness. Happiest marriages will be made
with one having a birthdate falling II
the first two weeks of February.
Renting and selling of new houses anc
stores by the Want Ads will bring
profitable results during the coming two
weeks.

LA ACQUISITION DElOS TANOr11e
Una ordenanza estableciendo reglas para
el almacenado de Fuel Oil''

DR.. Francisco Ponte.
Presidente del Concejo Municipal.
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
(Por conducto del Alcalde de San
Juan, Puerto Rico.)
Senior:
La comisi6n del Concejo que en- la
tarde del 26 de Febrero 1ltimo visit6
ell sitio donde la West India Oil Co.
prOyecta almacenar aceite combustible
(Fuel Oily en- Puerta de TERRA, a cuya
vista fu6 requerida mi asistencia, des-
pu6s de cruzar algunas ideas acerca del
particular puso a mi cuidado ell estudio
del asunto en- un orden general con OBJ
jeto de que pudiera yo presentar la
comision un dictamen que comprendie-
ra ell resultado de mis- impresiones con
vista de todos los documentos relati-
vos al case para 10 cual el senor Secre-
tario del Ayuntamiento me ha entire
gado los antecedentes necesarios.
La importancia que ha llegado to-
mar este aSunto por la discussion a que
ha dado lugar y las diversas opiniones
que en- p1bico y ante ell Concejo Sc han
exteriorizado unas en- pro otras en-
contra de la solicitud de la West Oil
Co., undo al limitado alcance de mis-
lfacultades, me coloca todo clio en- con-
diciones verdaderamente dif1ciles, pero
en- manera alguna me inhabilitan para
tratar ell sunto con desapasionamiento
inspirado solamente en- la voluntad de
dejar cumplido mi deber.
No me propongo presentar un traba-
jo demasiado extenso, sino que me IL
mitare eXponer en- extracto la parte
sustancial de los hechos, las opiniones
y argumentos que puedan considerar-
sc de mayor peso, los errores que vo-
luntaria 8 involuntariamente conten-
gan los documentos, y fnalmonte, las
deducciones y recomendaciones que
procedan, todo clio guiado por un esp1-
ritu de justicia y sin ninguna clase de
lpretensiones mucho menos de prejui-
clos.
En- Diciembre 18 de 1914 la West In
dia Oil Co. solicit6 del Alcalde de San
Juan un permiso para levantar en-
Puerta de TERRA las siguientes cons
| trucciones:
Tn almacen de hormig0n armada.
Una ofcina (no Sc menciona la clase
de construcci6n).
Dos tanques de acero para almacenar
!; 1888, 900 galones cada uno de aceite COM
bustible (Fuel iD.
Una casa de maquinas, de hormig6n
armada.
Ell Alcalde remiti6 la solicitud al
Concejo recomendando una audiencia
p1blica, recayendo acuerdo Ell FL de
Diciembre, en- sentido de que no ha-
biendo presentado los interesados los
pianos y especifcaciones, ell Concejo no
pod1a tomar acci6n en- ell asunto.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1915-03-12

En- Enero Is de 1915 la West India
Oil Go. por medic de su Representative
Mr.. Francis b. Neagle, Sc dirigi6 nue.
vamente al Alcalde, acompanando pla-
nos y solicitando permiso para las si-
guientes construcciones en- Puerta de
TERRA:
Un tanque de acero para almacenar
Fuel Oil en- cantidad no MAYOR de
$4,000 galones.
Una casa de maquinas.
Esta segunda solicitud difere de la
prlmera, no solamente en- que Sc omite
en- ella la construction de un almac6n
y de una ofcina, sino que Sc limita
un solo tanque de $4,000 galones y a
una casa de maquinas que va no es de
hormig6n sino de armadura de acero
con forros y techos de hierro galvani
ZadO.
La disparidad que existe entire una
y otra solicitud no tiene importancia
alguna para ell estudio de la question.
pero Sc senala aqu1 como un simple ex-
tracto de los hechos y para que pueda
apreciarse la acertada actitud del Con-
ceJo al no considerar ell asunto mien-
tras no fueran presentados los pianos.
El mismo dfa Is de Enero Sc solicit0
de mi un informe que fu6 desde luego
emitido en- cuanto a la parte construc
tiva de las obras este es, en- 10 que DO
dla referirse a la solidez resistencia
de las construcciOnes No podia yo en-
trar en- Ell fondo del asunto poruue nj
Sc me pldlo nj deb1a yo lanzarme a clio
estando presentada la recommendation
del Alcalde de que Sc nevara ell asunto
a una audiencia p1blica.
En- Is de Enero acord6 ell Conceio
entire otros particulares senalar ell q
del mismo mes de Enero para una au-
diencia pdblica, la cual Sc celebr6
|oyendose diversas argumentaciones en-
pro y en- contra de la solicitud de la
West India Oil Co., tomandose ell re-
cord taquigrafco y dandose adem is
oportunidad la Liga de aPropietarios
~ a la West India Oil Co. para presen-
tar alegatos escritos, que presentaron y
constan en- ell expediente.
La llnica disposition del Concejo Mu-
nicipal de San Juan que pudiera guar
dar relacion con ell asunto parece ser
la ordenanza aprobada en- Abril 10 de
1913, estableciendo reglas prohibi
clones relativas la existencia de ma
terias infamables 8 explosives.
Acerca de la Interpretation de esta
ordenanza que es un punto important1-
slmo en- este asunto, tratare de probar
que nj ell abogado de la West India Oil
Co., Sr. Tous Soto, nj ell abogado de la
Liga de Propietarios, Sr. Guerra, han
podldo convencerme con sus argumen-
taciones
FL Sr. Tous Soto afrma que ell Fuel
Oil 9 aceite combustible esta incluido|
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1915-03-12

dentro de los preceptos de la citada or
denanza que es la 1nica lev one rioe
en- la materla, estando por 10 tanto el
Alcalda facultado por la misma orde-
nanza para conceder ell permiso 4 Ia
West India Oil Co., y como la ordenan-
"a no comprende las materias combus-
tlbles slno solamente las 'inflamables
explosives ;, ell Sr. Tous Soto y11elve
contra 81 mismo su propio argumento.
cuando en- otros parrafos asegura que
Ell Fuel Oil no es infamable.
En- qulmica Sc entiende por ''com-
oustlon la combination de un cuerpo
combustlble con otro comburente.
1nflamable'', es al cualidad que tiene
un cuerpo una substantial en- encen-
der facil y rapidamente levantando la
mas.
Hay desde luego en- f1sica 10 que Sc
llama combustion espontanea, que es Ia
que Sc produce naturalmente en- diver
saS substancias sin la aplicaci6n pr6via
Gle un cuerpo lnf1amado, pero no tengo
notlclas Sc haya dado nunca el caso de
que ell aceite combustible & Fuel Oil
maya encendido espontaneamente.
En- ldentlca contradiction parece in
currlr ell senior Guerra al tratar de IA
apllcacl0n de Ia ordenanza municina1
porque, de una parte, considera el
Fuel Oil comprendido entire "cualouier
otra substantial analoga susceptible de
lnf1amarse" etc., que Sc refere la Sec
clon La. de la ordenanza y por otro la
do mega que ell Alcalde pueda eiercitar
la facultad que lie confere osa. misma
ofoenanza para conceder los permisos.
Iundandose Ell que eel case no esta
preVlsto EN- la ordenanza.'' -
DE manera que ell senor Guerra ad-
mite que el Fuel Oil es infamable nara
que Sc lie apliquen los rigores de Ia or
Ioehanza, pero al mismo tempo no acep-
ia que ell Fuel Oil sea infamable nor
que eel case no esta previsto en- u
ordenanza a los efectos de Ia facul-
tad del Alcalde en- conceder el permiso
Aqu1 vendr1a como anillo al dedo -
celebre Erase de Shakespeare: "To be
or not to be-, etc.
A mi modo de YER 81 la ordenanza as
no es applicable este case env1elve
en- 81 una question exclusivamente tee
inca todo depende de 81 ell Fuel Oil
ha Gle ser considerable 8 no ha de ser
conslderado como materia "infama-
Die" Q "explosiva", 9, en- otros t6rmi-
nos: 81 el Fuel Oil es materia "infa-
mable' Q es materia "combustible "
En- ell primer case la ordenanza no.
Isltlvamente regula su almacenaie
En- ell segundo case la ordenanza no
tlene NADIA que yer en- ell asunto.
Me parece que no es necesario tener
Iconocimientos legales sino que basta
con una pequeila dosis de refexi6n pa

100000 acres on the eastern hem
isphere, in cultivation. This est
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, ETC., where large
quantities of meat are produced.
The worlds annual crop ap-
proximates fifteen billion bushels
of cereals, thirteen billion pounds
of fibre and sixty-fve million
tons of meat.
The world shows an average
increase in cereal production of
Is per cent during the past de-
cade, compared with the previous
five years, while the worlds pop
ulation shows an increase of only
3 per cent.
The gain in production far ex-
ceeds that of our increase in pop
ulation, and it is safe to estimate
that the farmer can easily in
crease production Is per cent if a
remunerative market can be
found for the products.

Floridonia growers who plan to
make much of the low spots in
the spring paintings are likely to
confne operation to the high spots
for both tomatoes and watarmcl-
OnS.
Lists giving the number of
growers and total spring acreage
as far as it can be estimated at this
date are being prepared quite
thoroughly by the railroad.
Reports from north If Punta
Gorda show that this section has
better chance at the spring mark
cts than most vicinities and some
men who had not anticipated
making tomatoes are planning to
start crop while some who had
been in the list are dropping out.
Fishermen coming up from
down the coast have brought
word that crop conditions on the
keys have been rendered very ln-
satisfactory by the last winds and
rains and much damage was com
plete although one-third Of all
the crops may be saved for ship
ping. Young stuff stood it bet
ter than the older growth.
