¿Estamos en creciente o en Menguante?

Abstract

The image presents news about: “Are we waxing or waning? ‘In number 54 of your very interesting newspaper we have read what the pseudonym Silcio says for the second time, about the population of Bogotá, responding to a reply that had been made. This question has been mixed with the lack of police in the city and it seems that they wanted to draw the strange consequence that this last circumstance prevents the increase of the population. one and the other theme are of a very secondary importance, as entirely local; but it does not encourage the desire to say two words, at least about the population, with curious data. It is since independence that Bogotá lacks police and health. Bogotá is bigger today than it was in 1807: a large part of San Victorino is new, the hospital of San Juan de Dios is no longer on the outskirts of the city, the convent of San Diego is no longer the extreme north, today there are houses on the slopes of the hills, the church of the crosses is no longer the southern end. It has grown so much that today it is requested that Las Aguas and Las Cruces be segregated from the parish of La Catedral. In a radius of 1,500 meters around the Plaza de San Francisco, in the last 40 years, rooms have been built for more than 10,000 souls. In 30 years, rents have increased fivefold and the number of herds has quadrupled. News published in the newspaper El Símbolo, No.56 31/V/865 Pages 80 (3 and 4) and 81(1a)
