Abstract

The image contains news about Ordinance 21 of January 10, 1856, which establishes provisions on provincial and parish roads in the province of Bogotá. The ordinance defines the classification of roads as provincial and parochial. Provincial roads are those that leave the capital towards different directions, and will be under the responsibility of the governor for their repair and conservation, using the funds assigned for this purpose. On the other hand, the parish roads will be in charge of the respective Mayors, who must comply with certain duties, such as the division of workers and the supervision of the conservation of the roads within their territory. The Cabildo also has responsibilities, such as determining the contribution necessary for the conservation of roads and supervising their condition. Specific duties are established for the Mayor, such as the distribution of workers and the regular inspection of roads. In addition, the responsibilities of the Council and the Mayor in the event of non-compliance with these provisions are detailed. News published in El Repertorio. January 19, 1856.
