tional Complications by don Leon Wireless News The recent visit of our most energetic and capable Presidena Lic. Leon Cortes Castro has already borne much fruit for the betterment of our beautiful city, the principal gateway of cur picturesque country, so meritoriously regarded as the Switzerland of the New World. Indeed, from the time of don Rafael Yglesias, whose name must ever be associated with the history of Limon, there has never been a President who has proven himself so alive to the interests of this Province as has con Leon. As a consequence of his visits, we are assured many improvements. We are to be provided with an adequate supply of good water at a cost of something like eight hundred thousand colones. We are assured the construction of a market, worthy the principal gateway of the Republic, for a sum around 200. 000 colones.
Following on his visit with which our indefatigable Limonense don Paco Gutiérrez, Minister of Finance, and our very sympathetic Minister of Public Works and Agriculture, Engineer don Ricardo Pacheco Lara, were associated, we have also been assured the erection of our Hospital at a cost of about a million colones. It has now been definitely decided that this institution is to be located on thd Rafael Yglesias Plaza, instead of on that of the Base Ball, as was recently stated. The buildings in connection therewith will be a wonderful adornment to our City, while the open spaces on the plaza will be converted into shadey promenades for the convalescents. An upto date stadium will be erected on the present Base Ball Plaza where all our games of sport will take place. This visit has also assured us of the completion of the road way to Moin via Portette, the belt to be completed by connecting with that leading to the Cemetery. It is authoritatively stated that this important driveway is to be asphalted.
It will consequently be seen that due to the rectitude of mind of our far visioned President, the dawn of that Easter Day which will place our City of Limon on a par with all of the country other important cities, is fast approaching; and this must certainly be most gratifying to those who supported his election campaign and secured him such and overwhelming victory. Don Leen administration has followed the PATH OF BLESSEDNESS so he has been enabled, by Divine providence, to carry out bis good intentions for the best interests of his beloved country, thereby attracting the goodwill and affection of not only his close adherents but also those who, quite mistakenly, were once his political opponents. Truly applicable to don Leon are the following lines of John Burroughs, The waters know their own and draw The brooks that spring in yonder height So flows the good with equal Law Unto the Soul of pure delight.
