Circular N°51 sobre el deber de los cabildos de atender las vías de comunicación con los municipios circunvecinos.

Abstract

The image contains news about Circular Number 51, addressed to the mayors of the districts. This circular emphasizes the duty of parish councils to prioritize communication routes with surrounding municipalities and cross-country roads. The government clarifies that, although article 13 of the same constitution assigns the provincial legislature responsibility for communication routes and public works of provincial interest, this provision does not exempt the councils from their obligation to maintain local roads in good condition. . The circular orders the councils to raise the necessary resources from their own income to repair and improve all communication routes within the district, regardless of their previous classification as national or provincial. Furthermore, it urges taking advantage of the summer months to carry out these improvements immediately, pointing out that, despite the credits opened for road improvement, the provincial treasury currently lacks sufficient funds.
