 The presentation to the city of Tue son of a marble statue of Miguel Hi daIgo Costino by the Junta Pa triotica as a gift with the provision that it be erected in the Armory plaza is the means through which Consul Portillo hopes that much may be accomplished in the way of bet ter understanding between the two elements in the Old Pueblo.-Citizen
