. HE District of Tres Arroyos,
which was established in ac-
cOrdance with law of July

u cOrdance with a law of July
10, 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 "a prominent place among the
departments of the province. Because
of the Importance of its products, it's
manufactures, its general development,
the attention accorded public instruc-
ton by its 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 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 d
fine example of the development of the
section in which it is located, and its
people certainly have cause to be proud
of their rapidly growing town. Built
up by the constant, disinterested, and
loving devotion of its inhabitants, the
city has progressed daily, and little
by little has become Il 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, $50 hectares,
and an approximate population of 4, :
600 souls.
The traveller who arrives at Tres Ar
E0yOs cannot fail to be pleasantly sur
NriSed on finding at a distance of 500
hlometerS from BuenOS Aires beau
thul 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 BouIevards.
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-
ward is u fine, wide avenue which
fronts on San Martin Plaza. On this
avenue are the buildings of the Ma
tiOnal, Spanish, and Commercial banks
as well as the edifice of the Italian
Society, the market, and other struc'
lures. In the center of the boulevard
is u beautiful park or ramble. This is
a 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 &C
pesos per square meter, the price de
creasing greatly according to distance
from the business section of the town
On September %, 1873, the first
municipal committee of the depart
ment of Tres ArroyOs was formed
and on July 8, 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 undated. The
municipal building already referred to
which is being erected on San Martin
Plaza facing the Moreno Boulevard
is not yet completed. The constructor
of this edifice, which was commenced
in 1906, was temporarily discontinued
One of the floors, however, has beer
completed and Is now occupied by the
mayors office.
