Los aguaceros afectaron los caños y alcantarillados causando daños en casa y en el cuartel

Abstract

The image presents news about: "The downpours of these last days have been truly torrential; the pipes and sewers have washed away an enormous amount of water that not only caused damage to the pipe that leaves one of the barracks and passes through the house of Mr Acalde, but in the one that crosses the building of San Francisco and descending parallel to the street 15,( camellon of the Rams) you will go out to the street 14 ( camellon of San Victorino). The first exploded in Cualla’s house, flooding it and causing serious damage; the second dam near the Capuchina and its waters flooded three houses on 15th Street, in which the water reached about a meter high and, of course, He wreaked havoc and alarm on the peaceful inhabitants of that street. It is necessary that the municipal government is concerned about what has happened and put the remedy that it deems appropriate; for our part we believe that the waters of these two pipes should be divided, so that half of those carried today each of them, directly and respectively to the rivers San Agustin and San Francisco".
