dedicate itself to diseases OF a tropical
character Other units will be used for
the administrative Offices dormitories

plant, laundry. morgue. garages and
store houses.
Another unit for the care of tuber-

VALPARAISO MOVES
TO IMPROVE PORT
Recent Storm Gives Impetus
to Programme of Protec-
ton to Shipping.

VALPARAISO, July 27.-The recent
storm in Valparaiso harbor causing con-
siderable damage to shipping and the
loss Of many lives has awakened the
press and the people OF this port to
the necessity of continuing the gigantic
programme of improvements aimed to
give protection to shipping. The FIRST
pletion. 1t involves the construction OF
a breakwater that extends ESQ meters
out to the bay from Punta Duprat. and
a number of piers for the docking Of
vessels.
The second part of the harbor i'm
provement programme involves the ex-
tension Of the breakwater $50 meters
further out into the water. but II was
not included in the contract bgranted
to the construction company owing to
the lack of funds. Also. the depth OF the
water In the harbor gave the engineers
some concern In the construction Of the
breakwater that Is now being COM
pleted. 1t was necessary to establish
its practicability. Experts are satisfied
now that II has reduced the danger TO
shipping. and the newspapers are now
agitating the completion of the addi-
tional extension.
''Crtics have attempted to minimize
the Importance OF Valparaiso In their
opposition to the improvements In the
harbor," says a Valparaiso newspaper.
"It 10 plainly evident that Valparaiso
Is the first Chilean port as well as the
commercial centre of the Pacific coast
OF South America. In the past the in
security OF the bay has retarded its
development, but when It is equipped
with facilities as to make II a first
class port. and served by good rail-
roads and other means OF transportation
its future growth on a grand scale
will be a fact"
