 19, 1865, is now one of the most important political divisions of the province of Buenos Aires, in the Argentine Republic. The southern part of this district is exceedingly progressive, and it's development along numerous lines of useful effort insures for it prominent place among the departments of the province. Because of the importance of it's products it's manufactures, it's general development, the attention accorded public instruc- tion by it's officials, as well as the uni ted efforts of its inhabitants, who are filled with the spirit of progress and of industry, the district of Tres Ar royos has undergone a constant growth which has brought to it the prosperity which it now enjoys, says the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union.
 The city of Tres Arroyos, capital of the district of the same name, is fine example of the development of the section in which it is located, and it's people certainly have cause to be proud of their rapidly growing town. Built up by the constant, disinterested, and loving devotion of it's inhabitants, the city has progressed daily, and little by little has become popular center with all the attributes of large city, influential and powerful because of the industry of its inhabitants and their great accomplishments. The dis trict has an area of 623, ,6S0 hectares, and an approximate population of 42,- 900 souls.
 The traveller who arrives at Tres Ar royos cannot fail to be pleasantly sur prised on finding at a distance of 5c0 kilometers from Buenos Aires beau tiful city of commanding aspect, with modern urban developments and with traffic showing intense business life. Its streets, extending into the suburbs, are paved with granite blocks, and it has many beautiful buildings, which of themselves are an index to the growth and progress of the city.
 Fine Buildings and Bouevards.
 The municipal palace, which is now in course of construction, the bank, school commercial, and church edi- fees greatly contribute to the beauti- fication of the town. Moreno Boule- yard is a fine, wide avenue which fronts on San Martin Plaza. On this avenue are the buildings of the Ma tional, Spanish, and Commercial banks, Ah1 nF hn Itol for Society, the market, and other struc- lures. In the center of the boulevard is beautiful park or ramble. This Is popular place of reunion, especially during the summer months, for the elite of the city.
 Notwithstanding the great activity in building in Tres Arroyos, rents are very high there, due to the influx of population. The value of land in the center of the city varies from 40 to 60 pesos per square meter, the price de- creasing greatly according to distance from the business section of the town.
 On September 2S, 1878, the first municipal committee of the depart ment of Tres Arroyos was formed, and on July 9, 1885, on the occasion of the celebration of national indepen- dence day, the municipal buildings were opened to public use. Since that time the prosperity of the town and of the district has continued unabated. The municipal building already referred to, which is being erected on San Martin Plaza facing the Moreno Boulevard, Is not yet completed. The construction of this edifice, which was commenced in 1906, was temporarily discontinued. One of the floors, however, has been completed and is now occupied by the mayors office.
