City of Mexico Is Some
Run Down At Heels
SLUMPlNCINPROSpERITY
Problem of Transportation Has
Been Handicap to the
Towns Growth
RALPH n. TURNER.

Monterey, Mexico-IBy Mail J.
Once famed as the leaCing' manu-
featuring city of Mexico, Monterey
today presents the appearance of a
city, still prosperous perhaps, but
badly run down at the heels.
Revolution, responsible for most of
MeXico's woes tells Of story of Mon
terey's decline. The typified Mexi-
can town, six hours ride from the
Texas border, still is classed at the
head of the country's industrial dis
tricts, but it's reputation as the
Chicago of Mexico" has received a
severe setback.
The slump in prosperity is reflect
ed in the depressing quiet of the
streets, the stagnation in many busi
ness lines and in the decreased pro-
Tuction OF the industrial plants. In
it's efforts to revive industry. the
Carranza governments chief obstacle
has been encountered in the problem
of transportation.
Lack of Transportation.
1t is transportation-or the lack of
transportationr-that is retarding
Monterey's struggle to regain her old
il not for the lack of cars and loco
motives ii is not likely that the two
American smelters would be operat
ing at only partial capacity: that Il
brewery, which formerly employed
1000 men. would employ now less
than half that number and that other
industries would be closed together.
There are other difficulties, of
course. by products of revolution.
Among these. as regards the smelters.
is the fact that unsettled conditions
have forced many mines 10 close.
But were they all operating, the
cmelters would not be able to trans
port the ore. Existing conditions are
illustrated by the practice of the
smelling companies of their own
cars, besides paying the regular
freight rates to the Mexican national
railway lines.
Shortage of Cars.
This action, according to officials
of the smelling companies, is neces-
sary because Of the shortage of gov
ernment -owned cars. Six hundred
and fifty eight cars, il Is stated. were
burned in this section during the
revolutionary activities of 1913.
brick manufacturer declared that he
had been able to obtain cnly two cars
during the months of September and
October
Officials of the Carranza govern
ment are striving to correct this con-
dition. Negotiations are being con-
ductd for the purchase OF 5000 cars
from the United States. Business
men hope this is sign of return to
former times, when Monterey. be-
