Squabbles Over Personnel.
There were minor squabbles at
first, chiefly over personnel in rela-
tion to, politics. Once Hollopeter
was held under arrest in his Office
for day. But before the alcalde
(mayor) who enforced that arrest
died a few weeks ago, he served on
the enterprises three-man board
and supported the Yankee engi-
neer's policies.
At the time Hollopeter arrived in
Barranquilla. the city's only drink
ing water came right out of the
river. No streets were paved. There
were no sewers.
Today the city has water filtra-
ton plant equal to New York's in
quality" 1t has a capacity of
8,00o,0 900 gallons a day. and is now
being doubled in size to accornmo-
date the population increase.
There are "a miles of concrete
streets and one broad avenue that
was cleared of rickety houses and
widened from "a to go feet for half
mile in single operation-an un-
dertaking unique in this region Of
powerful real estate holders.
When the streets were paved,
engineering @ foresight put sewer
pipes under them in anticipation Of
future growth, Now a pumping
station is undergoing construction
to put these sewers into operation
Gravity sewers are already In Use.

100000. Only s65o,OO0 of it remains
to be paid off. The issue paid 8
per cent from 1925 to 1914 profit
OF $3.50 on every ,000-wfen the
Colombian government, affected like
the rest OF the world by the de-
preston, barred any dividend money
from leaving the country.
Money to cover the interest was
put regularly into Barranquilla
oanks, however, and in 1899 new
bonds with per cent dividends
were issued to cover this amount.
These dividends are permitted to
leave the country.
