El senior Todd hizo aver las ST.
guientes declaraciones a un repor-
ter nuestro sobre el resultado de
tai reunion:
Fuimos la oficina del Gober-
nador Y nos reunimos alredor de
La mesa larga que ALI hay, con-
juntamente con el Consejo Ejecuti-
vo en- pleno.
FL punto en- contensi6n es ell de
que la ley Municipal da derecho a
los municipios a vender sus bonos.
FL municipio de San Juan sostiene
por tanto, que puede vender los
suyos del mismo modo que en- 1901
ell Alcalde Egozcue vendi6 una
emission de 100000 a $1,000, 81
liz; en- 1917, siendo 20 Alcalde
vendi otra emission de 1915, 900,
sin la garantfa del Pueblo de P.
Rico, y el Alcalde Travieso, en-
1922, vendi6 otra de $3,35O,OOO con
la garantfa del Pueblo.
EN- La reunion de aver, ell
Gobernador hizo tres proposiciones
para resolver este asunto: la. ven-
der los bonos por medic del Nego-
ciado de Asuntos Insulares; "a.
venderlos por medic del Consejo
Executive, Y 3a., venderlos al ira
yes del Tesorero de Puerto Rico,
sin la intervention, como Sc ve-
ria del municipio.
Yo hice uso de la palabra, y ex-
plique La situacion economical del
creada no solo por vir-
tud del referido emprestito, sino
porque ell Tesorero no ha hecho
ciertas remesas de contribuciones
que nos correspondent.
ASf las cosas, la formula mas
satisfactoria la propuso ell Lcdo.
Esteves. Propuso este que ell Mu-
nicipio delegara en- ell Consejo Eje
cutivo la facultad de vender los
bonos, y que dicho organismo ha-
ria todas las gestiones pertinentes
del case, Y el dfa fijado para abrir
las proposiciones, ell Consejo pro-
a hacerlo, pasando las mis-
mas enseguida a la Asamblea Mu
nicipal para que esta decida cual
es la mas ventajosa,
comprometiendose el Consejo a
aceptar el fallo de aquella cual-
quiera que este sea.
La proposition de Esteves fue
Ia mas satisfactoria. Pero, como
ALI solo habia seis miembros de
la Asamblea sc acord6 que esta
Sc reuniera de hoy a manana pa
ra que resuelva 10 que crea conve-
niente.
lHasta ahi las manifestations
del Alcalde.

ria para ell municipio y ell Gobier-
no de Puerto Rico, el cual, por bo-
ca de uno de sus mas ilustres fun

Burden of Debt Not
Always a Handicap

II you were going to employ sales
man and had your choice of a man
heavily in debt or one equally capable
but not In debt, which would you pre-
fer?
A great corporation recently made a
statistical survey of common attri-
butes of several hundred statesmen and
discovered the surprising fact that
men heavily in debt seem to accom-
plish more than those without such
financial burden. The explanation is
believed to be only partly that, when
man owes a large sum of money, he
works hard to get this debt removed.
Still more important is the fact that
man heavily in debt Is probably a
smart fellow or he wouldn't have sue
ceeded In inducing bank or other in
stitution to permit him to owe so much
money. This same investigation
showed that, while heavy indebtedness
may indicate more than average abil-
ity, owing a trifing amount of money
is almost certain to indicate just the
opposite. In other words, any man
who can induce you to lend him $1,000
must be downright clever, but beware
of the fellow who habitually owes
somebody a mere $50 or $40.-From
the Nations Business.

Vast Wealth Easily
Carried in Pocket

Gems represent a value so highly
concentrated that it Is possible to
carry million dollars worth of
precious stones in a waistcoat pocket.
Though the diamonds of the world
probably have a value of $5,000,0 1000,
the African yield since 1880, according
to DR.. George f. Kunz, in the Engl-
neering and Mining Journal-Press, has
been only about Ii metric tons, and
with the diamonds from all other
sources the worlds production in the
last 30 years may have been % tons
an average Of only about 80 pounds a
week.
The profitable sapphire mines of
Montana have produced since their
discovery in 1900 not more than one or
two tons. The total yield Of Burma
rubies has been not more than a ton
or so. In extreme values natural pre-
cious stones have ranged up to $50,
per carat, or $3090,150 per troy ounce,
for an exceptional 20-grain pearl; 49,
