Nota al Presidente de la Municipalidad de Bogotá

Abstract

The image contains news about the note to the President of the Municipality of Bogotá. The document states that the Governor has requested that the Municipal Corporation be informed about the imminent completion of the House of Penance, which will prevent the inmates from continuing to carry out cleaning work in the city. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the Men's Destitute House, financed by contributions on movable wealth and public charity, is not fulfilling its purpose due to the lack of police support to drive the beggars to the establishment. The note also highlights the ineffectiveness of the district police in controlling public fights and nighttime disorders. The Governor proposes to appoint a Mayor suggested by the Municipality, as long as the Municipality allocates sufficient funds for the police and sanitation, which would eliminate the costly Municipal Headquarters and unify authority in the city. News published in the Municipal Registry. March 1, 1872.
