It is this selfish ness in mankind wbich promulgates such constant dissentions among individuals, begets so many bellicose activities among peoples of the same blood, kith and kin, as also ruthless wars among the nations of the earth. And we observe this same characteristic being exhibited among our Corporations and Communities in connection with our hope of having a new and up todate Hospital erected in Limon in the interests of the people of our Banana Zone, There was never a thought until recently, of any hospitalization which should be supported by the Export Tax on Bananas and then only in Limon. The visit of the Secretary, or we should say Minister of Public Health, consolidated this idea of ours and Dr. Antonio Feña Chavarría, ir his character as Secretary or Guar.
dian of the Public Health of the Republic, realizing the necessity of another modernly equipped hospital meet the needs of our community, promised his coOperation to the Board of Public Assitance over which our energetic and progressive minded young Governor, don Ricardo Alvarado, presides, for the erection of such an edifice.
It was arranged that the Supreme government would give the lands where the old Bodega stands near the National Pier, that the Junta Asistencia Social or Charity Board would donate the sum of 75, 000 colones to be augmented by a grant from the Supreme Treasury for the construction of the building; that the Depart.
ment of Public Health would supply the funds for the modern equipment, and that the Municipality and Junta of Public Assistance would run the Institution on the funds obtained from the Banana Tax.
Just as soon as these arrangements were entered into by the parties concerned, we hear a great Hue and Cry! Turrialba feels herself the centre of the Ba.
nana Zone and therefore more deserving of such an Institution than poor Limon, while Puntarenas and Orotina also claim they are in the Banana Zone and bet.
ter suited for such privileges.
How inconsistent ever since the nineties that never to be forgoten industrialist, Minor Cooper Keith Meggs, started planting Bananas at Zent and Matina in this Province and exporting the producto from our Atlantic Pot. In 1898 he merged his interests with the Boston Fruit Company of Jamaica and the Santos and Hippolite Dumois Company of Cuba and brought about the United Fruit Company. During the first decade of our twentieth century, a Tax of one cent gold per stem was placed on the exportation of the fruit from LIMON, the annual yield reaching at this time as high as eleven millions. Some or 10 years ago the government increased the Tax to two cents gold per stem. It was with in this period that Turrialba, in the Province of Car.
tago, started a small production the output of which is (TO PAGE WAR CLOUDS CLOUDS AGAIN AGAIN GATHER During the past week the fier stop Germany, itąty and Portu she has to maintain the thouscest encounters have taken place gal aiding the regels The Brit ards of refugees who have to the Spanish Revolution as a ish Foreign Ministe: Sir An sough safety thin her borders, result of the efforts of the Lo thony Eden is already in consul Latest advices announce taat yalists to check the advance o: tation With Premier Blum seg the forces of General Mola have the rebels on Madrid Reporta arding the situation and the reached a point 30 kilometrazer regarding the out came of the Committee was expected to have from Madrid, and that practiu: engagements are, however, most taken the matter under conside ca ly all the means of commulite misleading: the lozalis clain ration at a meeting yesterday cation have been blocked in the several victories while the nato In Lesgue and other circ. es South and Southeast by Ge veral nalists report that, having cap the belief exists that shoula Franco.
