THE ATLANTIC Editor JOS. THOMAS ALL THE WEEK IN ONE DAY January 27, 1951 Post Box 199 Limón, Costa Rica Number 59 Year OUR TASK FROM OUR DESK BY THE EDITOR IN THE BASKET OF THE WEEK What is life? a frenzy what is life? an ilusion shadow, a fiction and the well being is small That all of life is a dream and the dreams are dream REGIMEN MUNICIPAL Cantón Central de Limón. Provincia de Limón The Atlantic Zone is dead. There are mourners everywhere. We are not wearing the mourners garment, but lamentation has taken possession of the minds; the rosy countenances which were the evidence of a mediocre state of living have given way to a faint lustre on almost every face one contacts on the streets. We are struggling in the ocean of depression.
Nature has taken her own in the December flood rains; the cacao trees which were laden with their pods and with the promise of an abundant crop of this life line product of this zone were destroyed.
The Banana Industry is dull on the viewpoints of both Exporters and Producers. The Exporters in order to prevent a complete shut down in the business are taking great financial risks by buying poor quality fruit. the only grade which a majority of the small cultivators can supply. The reason is that over worked soil ceases to produce a good grade of banana. There are now lands available in some regions, but the forest trees and bushes will not fall by a spoken word; the woodman labour, his axe, cutlass and other tools are needed.
To procure these much money is required; sums of money beyond the reach of the poor farmers. These problems are surmountable only by means of Government Financial help. If there was ever a time that Limon stands in need for the help of the Rural Credit Department of the National Bank, is now.
We are no stranger to the fact that other provinces engaged in agriculture are enjoying such a privilege, then why not Limon?
We are of opinion that Limonenses are not crying aloud so that the cries will be heard. It is silly to choke wants by an artificial pride.
AVISA Que la Corporación Municipal no ha omitido esfuerzos tendientes a suministrar un eficiente servicio de agua, el que si malo en la actualidad, se debe única y exclusivamente al bajo voltaje dado por la Compañía Eléctrica de este lugar, el que no permite que las bombas lleven al tanque de distribución la cantidad necesaria para el consumo de la ciudad.
ADVISES That the Municipal Corporation has not neglected its efforts to supply an efficient water service; if actually unsatisfactory is due only and exclusively to the low voltage given by the Electric Company of this locality which does not permit the pumps to fill the tank of the distribution system to the necessary capacity for the consumption of the city.
