Military Councilman, Royal Second Lieutenant
Don Francisco Vizarrón proposed
that it was necessary to request from
the Government's Tribunal, a full copy
of the file made about the creation of
the Villa,
so by reading it we will be able to discuss
and agree about taxes and other issues
raised in meetings held by Deputies appointed
by the neighbors, before Judge Don Juan
Ignacio Rendón, judge commissioned
for such foundation by His Excellency
the President of the Government and General
Captain, so the requirements of the Villa
would be fulfilled in all aspects for
the general welfare. And the Town Council,
having heard the proposal of the Military
Councilman, Royal Second Lieutenant, resolved:
That the Representative of the General
Solicitor should request as soon as possible
copies of all documents related to the
foundation of the Villa
and processes established by the same
until the establishment of this Council,
and that as soon as received, it shall
be delivered to the present Clerk so it
will be included as the heading of this
book, taking from it the necessary information.
