INTERVIEW CON Ell SENIOR OOMENECH

!, en- San Juan. IS centavos fuera de San

no marque NADIA por no haberse consu
nldo corriente alguna, no puede cobrar-
SO nada.
No es menester analizar mucho la
question para yer que esta disposition
de Ia ley es injusta, puesto que obliga
! a una empresa a prestar un servicio sin
retribuci6n alguna. rs casi igual que
81 dispusiese la ley que no Sc pagare Ell
arrendamiento mensual de un telefo-
nc on aquellos meses en- que no sc hu-
biere hecho uso de 81 Este es un pro-
bIema muy conocido en- los Estados Uni
dos y que va ha sido resuelto muchas

es as, que Ia misma Comision de Ser
vicio Pnblico nuestra, en- su primer In
fcrme anual, correspondence al afio que
termin6 el 80 de JUNO de 1918, va hizo
constar su parecer acerca dc este pun
20, en- la forma siguiente:
Dice la con!sion:
"En relaci6n con las empresas de uti
lidad pnblica debe llamarse la aten-
ci6n de la Asamblea Legislative de Pto.
Rico hacia el "Disponiendose" inserta
do a Ia termination del parrafo (a) de
Ia secci6n ocho de Ia Ley de Servicio
Pnblico, que prohibe la imposition y
cobro de un tipo minimo. Esto resulta
injusto para esta clase de empresas y
le crea una dtuaci6n dificil y perjudi-
cial que dara por resu'tadO serios incon-
venientes econ6micos.'
R.-Digame, senior Domenech, Jc6mo
es que ST la Comisi6n de servicio Pu-
blico piensa dc esa manera, ha abolido
su tarifa minima?
sr. D.-Sencillamente, porque la Co
mission ha creido que no tiene faculta-
des para interpreter la ley determi-
mar su falta de constitucionalidad De
modo que 81 existe esa prohibition en- la
ley no le ha quedado a su juicio otro

ra que fuese su opinion acerca del par
ticular Asi Sc da oportunidad la com
pafii1 que Sc crea perjudicada, de que
rellarse estableciendo los recursos lega-

va una o. dos veces antes Sc habia
planteado esta misma question ante la
Comisi6n.Si no en- la misma forma q.
ahora, en- forma parecida. Alguien Sc
qEej6 hace tempo de la imposition de
nnestra tarifa minima y pidio la Co
mission que SO nos penase por hacerlo.
la coa.si6n contest6 que la tarifa ha-
bia sido aprobada por el Consejo Eie-
cutivo y que estaba en- vigor mientras
no Sc modifcase por la Comisi6n de Ser
vicio Pnbhco. En- el caso de que nos ocu

de Ia cOmisi6n que Sc derogase nuestra

no le quedaba otro recurso que derogar
Ia tarifa. y asi 10 hizO. Es opinion nues-

Nosotros entendemos que la disposi-

MAYOR EXTENDS
CLEANUP week
Citizens Are Given Additional
Time in Which to Finish
Work About Yards

Pensacola people viii have one more
week in which to cleanup their homes
and surroundings as a result Of a de-
cision of Mayor Sanders reached yes
terday. In making this decision the
mayor said that owing to the rainy
weather that has been prevalent here
during the cleanup week and the in
ability of the street department TO
haul all of the garbage and rubbish
he thought that the people should have
an additional week in which to finish
the job that they had started.
The street department has been
swamped with calls for wagons to
haul the piled rubbish and have not
been able to meet all of the calls. a
big IL ton truck had been impressed
into the service. but owing to an ac
cident the truck was put out of COM
mission until repaired when making
its first trip and it was necessary to
send to Mobile for the repairing. The
wagons not being sufficient TO take
care of the unusual amount of gar
bage that had been gathered some of it
has not yet been hauled away
Most of the week rainy weather has
been a daily drawback to complete the
cleaning up that had been started and
this is the reason of the mayors de-
cision of giving an additional week in
which the people may get their homes
and surroundings thoroughly cleaned
The additional week will also be given
to the business section Of the city
in which to get their stores and prem
ises thoroughly cleaned and all rub
~
unoccupied buildings.
Chief Riera, fire inspector, insists
that all houses within the fire nnnrs
must be cleaned of all paper and IN
flamabIe materials before the inspec-
ton. If any place is found with the
rubbish not ready for the wagons the
proprietors of the place will be held
responsible and will be summoned be
fore the court to answer for he negli-
gence.
AS much as the weather would per-
init every street in the city was cleaned
during this week and most of the
homes had finished the cleaning up
around the premises. In another week
from today the official inspections will
he held and honorable mention Will
be made of the ones who are response
BE for the neatest streets and the
cleanest blocks. In one more week
every home should be thoroughly
cleaned and the yards raked. Property
owners of lots which are vacant are
asked to have those lots put in first
class condition and made presentable.
If no buildings are on the blocks the
owners are asked to see to it that some
one is sent there and the lots cleaned
and raked. In this way every street
should be made more attractive and
the lots worth more on account of them
facing on a clean street
