and from there or to the ~Hlppodrome.
Continuing FROM this point it will extend
out to stop 26, and will end almost oppo-
site the roads which lead to the grounds
of the er campment.
Ibe new carretera is to be twenty me-
ters wide excepting that portion OF 1t
which takes,up Congress street, which
will only be fifteen meters wide due to
the fact that there are residences and
buildings all along this street. AS Goa
gress street was only twelve meters
wide originally, all the fences had to be
reconstructed in order to obtain the hf-
teen meters that the law requires, this
being the minimum width for a carretera.
The greatest difficulty which has arts
en- in building this carretera has, been
that Of coming to an agreement with all
the property owners and in the oarrlO
known as Gandul there has been more
trouble than in other sections. The In
terror department mas had to make good
to some Of these property owners but
a large part of the more important pro
perry owners have given the necessary
parcels of land gratuitously.
From the beginning of Congress Street
on to Stop n, the street is already laid
out and in some places it is paved. 1t
is hoped that the work will be entirely
completed by the end Of this year.
Although there have appeared various
laws passed regarding this carratera
since 1909 nothing definite was done
about it until the present Commissioner
